THE DIABETES CAREGIVER: with Margaret Baggett, RN, CDE - Jun 03,2011 | THE DIABETES CAREGIVER The more you learn about diabetes, the easier your job as a caregiver will be. Join me and my guest Certified Diabetic Educator and RN, Margaret Baggett as we cover 5 essential caregiving needs for diabetics. As the caregiver for someone with diabetes, find out everything you can about diabetes and how it affects the person in your care. This show will review basics. Nearly seven percent of Americans have diabetes, a serious and increasingly common disease that often causes cardiovascular, vision and kidney disease. But while diabetes isnt curable, it is controllable. And good healthcare can prevent life-threatening complications. Of the more than 14 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes, a small percentage have type 1 diabetes, which is caused by the bodys failure to produce insulin, a hormone needed to regulate glucose in the body. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood, and all those with type 1 diabetes require insulin injection (individual shots or via pump) to live. Much more common is type 2 diabetes, which typically occurs in overweight, sedentary adults who have a family history of the disease. More than 18 percent of Americans over the age of 60 have type 2 diabetes, notes the American Diabetes Association. Those with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance or insulin deficiency. Some take insulin; others manage their condition through diet or oral medications. As the caregiver for someone with diabetes, find out everything you can about diabetes and how it affects the person in your care. | 6/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Holistic Caregiving Series Part 2: The Sensitive Room- Alzheimers treatment without medications - Jun 23,2010 | Join me for a program dedicated to the Sensitive Room, a new center in South Florida offering a novel approach to treating alzheimers disease that provides stimulating opportunities that enhance participants’ awareness of their environment through the senses of sight and hearing. www.sensitiveroom.com This interview will examine the use of the Snoezelen method for treating dementia. The concept of Snoezelen was defined in the late 1970’s by two Dutch therapists, Jan Hulsegge and Ad Verheul. While working at the De Hartenberg Institute in Holland, a center for people with cognitive disabilities, the two therapists learned of the positive responses a colleague was able to elicit from his severely challenged clients when they were exposed to a sensory environment he had assembled. The Sensitive Room environment stimulates the primary senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell, through the use of lighting effects, tactile surfaces, meditative music and the odor of relaxing essential oils. Time spent in a sensory room has been shown to increase concentration, alertness, calmness, and general awareness of the surrounding world. With over 20 years of experience in Europe,this interview will focus listeners on the benefits of the first Sensitive Room private center in Florida. | 6/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Homeless Uninsured Americans need Medications to stay out of Hospitals - Feb 20,2010 | This program is open to callers with unblocked phone lines. Please respect comments to 5 minutes. Topic: Healthcare and wasteful spending. What is cheaper for the tax payer: an asthma inhaler or a week in the ICU on a ventilator, a vial of insulin or a month in rehab after a diabetic coma? Recently in Jacksonville, Fl one of my patients told me his heart wrenching story of homelessness after he lost his security guard job. He had to choose between missing his insulin and blood pressure medicines costing him around $200 a month or basic food, water and gas. As a per diem hospitalist contracted where medical services are most needed, I got to see firsthand what is going on in American Hospitals serving those without insurance through the ERs. Broadening the focus of Hospice Radio for this program, I wish to tell the stories of uninsured patients and the wasteful spending, state and federal government now supports. It is sobering our system places such contradictions on care, paying for high-priced care and forgoing the cheapest. It seems evident while our healthcare recovery bill is still in debate uninsured, homeless and poverty stricken Americans are sending the government and the taxpayer their version of a healthcare recovery bill. Taxpayers are now footing the rising bill for healthcare and the slow and costly recovery of these uninsured folks. Now with the jobless rate going up, foreclosures mounting, as a doctor I am seeing lengthy hospitalizations as a direct result of non prevention and unaffordable meds. The sick folks get sicker after simply missing preventative care and routine medicines. Dr. Lewis will discuss her views as an internist, hospitalist, hospice and palliative care expert, along with live callers from around the country on the state of American healthcare for those at poverty levels in her one hour program. | 2/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

“Medical Ethics and the “Concept of a Good Death” Part Two - Jun 23,2009 | Part Two -"Medical Ethics and the Concept of a Good Death.' features Kenneth W. Goodman, Ph.D., co-director of the University of Miami’s Ethics Programs, founder and director of the Bioethics Program and its Pan American Bioethics Initiative and director of the Ethics Programs' World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Ethics and Global Health Policy. My second guest, Kadam Nick Gillespie is the Resident Teacher of Drolma Kadampa Buddhist Center in Fort Lauderdale. He is a senior meditation teacher in the New Kadampa Tradition and has been studying and practicing Buddhist meditation for over 25 years under the guidance of his Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. The topic of religion and medical ethics has sparked such interest, that in order to afford each guest ample time for discussion, I will host faith-based concerns and medical ethics experts individually. I chose to start with Buddhism to be covered in the final segment of Part Two. Sample questions: Describe the field of study in Medical Ethics and the events that have shaped it. Do we have a ‘right’ to die? ( in context of negative right (others may not interfere) and positive right (others must help)) Do we own our own bodies and our lives? If we do own our own bodies, does that give us the right to do whatever we want with them? Discuss the Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. Does this protect the right to “a good death”? Physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, are they needed and if so, are they based in fears of a poor death and suffering? In the Terri Schiavo case, and the Karen Ann Quinlan case, state and federal government got involved with an individual and family private concerns. Can you describe for us the cases and what were the conflicts? Should a dying person be told they are dying to facilitate spiritual teachings? What are the concerns of withholding life support and removing life support? What is the position taken from religious teachings? Kada | 6/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

“Medical Ethics and the “Concept of a Good Death” Part One - Jun 19,2009 | Join me and expert guests Dr. Harry Moody from the AARP, author of 'The Soul of Bioethics' and 'Human Values in Aging',newsletters along with Dr.Pamela J. Grace, Associate Professor - Adult Health & Ethics at Boston College, William F. Connell School of Nursing, for the upcoming program, ‘Medical Ethics and the Concept of a Good Death.' This show will be divided into two one-hour programs. Topics for both programs will be drawn from the discipline of medical ethics and will explore the possible goals for people caring for aged parents, people who act as health care guardians, and concerns for the general public considering options regarding their own end-of-life care. This program will be presented in two parts with a second part revisiting the faith-based prerogatives and medical ethics. As we know from the sensational court cases, medical ethics when juxtaposed with religious doctrines can have various interpretations. Part Two will have guests representing the study of medical ethics along with the theological perspective regarding medical ethics in end-of-life care. Sample questions: Should a dying person be told they are dying? Who determines this and under what kinds of circumstances? What is the difference between morally correct decisions and ethical decisions? Who should and 'who does' make decisions for those who can no longer give informed consent? What are the ethical concerns in withholding life support and removing life support? How do we teach caregivers who care for the dying ( or gravely ill) to deal with their own feelings if they are at odds with the family or patient’s requests? When there is a disagreement among family members, who has the authority to mediate? What is the role of a hospital or nursing facility ethics committee? What are the issues regarding euthanasia and physician- assisted suicide? How did the case of Terri Schiavo become a national concern?

WHEN CHILDREN DIE - Dec 18,2008 | Children are not supposed to die. Yet, an estimated 50,000 American children will die this year from life-limiting illness, while worldwide, over seven million children and their families face this tragedy. Today, less than one percent of children needing hospice care in the United States receive it. Why? Join me and my distinguished guest, Ann Armstrong-Dailey, Founding Director/CEO of Children's Hospice International (CHI), a non-profit organization in Alexandria, Virginia as we discuss hospice services for children. The focus will be on the continuum of care for children and their families from the time that a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition — with hope for a cure — through the bereavement process, if cure is not attained. Increased awareness will lead to increased resources for this much needed specialized child care. CHI provides comprehensive programming, education and activism on behalf of children and families. Please visit their website and take the time to look at the “write your representative" link. You too can become proactive on this issue. http://www.chionline.org The devastating impact of a child’s death can often lead to increased incidence of job loss, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce and even emotional disturbances by the survivors. Children's hospice care encourages the families’ participation and thus eases their emotional strain and grief, yet with so few serving the country, families in difficulty have turned elsewhere. Join me and special guest, Dr. Patricia Munhall, a nationally board certified psychoanalyst and psychodynamic therapist (NAAP, AABC, ACAP, ABAP), international lecturer and renowned author, as we discuss the impact on the survivors. http://www.miamitherapy.com/Biog.htm In closing, I will dedicate this program with a message of love and compassion for those who have experienced this tragedy. | 12/18/08 | Free | View In iTunes |
