Katie went to work today expecting the worst after going out the night before and not sleeping much before her shift. But truly, this is a charmed life she lives, for who should come by to visit the ward she works on but Kevin Rudd, or K-Rudd as they like to call him. Quite possibly Australia's next Prime Minister, Mr. Rudd came by to inspect the quality of Australia's public hospitals. He interviewed Katie on the differences between the Austrailan and American health care model and even shook her hand. Her mother would have been proud, because she remembered all her TV experience from Kidworks and Insight San Juan High and was very poised and articulate for the cameras. She even made the news! The link is to a web site that has the video of the story. Go to the link, then click on "Abbot defends hospital funding levels (ABC News)" and you will see her at 25 sec and again at 2 minutes and 11 sec. The link for the video is right under the photo of Mr. Rudd. We will check the papers tomorrow for more exposure. Here is the link. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/10/05/2051790.htm?section=justin
