April 24, 2023 Medicine's dark side, how healthcare is failing some of us
Marion Davis is a Marketing Strategist who develops Outreach Campaigns for Disabled Consumers. She's also a writer on Healthcare Accessibility Topics for the Millions of Homebound & Bedbound Patients in the US. She
In this episode, she shares the experiences she's had with US healthcare. Speaking for myself, I was horrified. No one should be subjected to this type of behavior. It's one thing to read statistics about how much abuse occurs in the United States, especially to women with disabilities. It's quite another to hear about it first-hand.

I hope this raises awareness and leads to more accountability within medical practices nationally.

April 10, 2023Hospice - you can live well even while dying
These are some of the most important facts you should know about hospice care:
Hospice is for people with advanced illnesses. Hospice provides symptom and pain management for patients with serious illnesses, no matter their age, culture, beliefs, or cause of illness.

Hospice can happen anywhere. Hospice is a service that comes to the patient in the place they prefer to be for end-of-life care. Patients at home feel better surrounded by the faces and things they know and love.

Hospice is a choice. Patients can leave, or “revoke their hospice status” at any time for any reason. Patients can also come back to hospice at any time, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.

Patients can keep taking some medicines while in hospice. Hospice patients have been prescribed medicines that manage the symptoms of their advanced illness and improve their quality of life.

Hospice gives medicines as needed to help with symptoms. Hospice doctors try to give just enough medicine to manage symptoms and ease pain.

Family or friends provide care with support from the hospice team. Family or friends are supported and trained by an expert team that makes regular, scheduled visits. For patients who live in assisted living communities and nursing homes, the hospice team works together with the facility staff.

There is no limit to the time a patient can be in hospice. Hospice is for patients who have 6 months or less to live according to a doctor, and it can be extended when needed. In surveys, family members often say, “we wish we had known about hospice sooner.”

Hospice provides home medical equipment and supplies related to the cause of the illness. This includes shower chairs, oxygen tanks, hospital beds, toileting supplies, and more.

Hospice supports the family. After a patient passes, hospice addresses emotional and spiritual pain suffered by loved ones, often for more than a year.

Most hospice patients do not have any out-of-pocket expenses. Medicare Part A covers up to 100% of the cost of hospice care related to a hospice-eligible patient’s illness, with no deductible or copayment. Private or employer-provided health coverage can vary. Check with your insurance provider for details about hospice eligibility, coverage, and out-of-pocket expenses. Medicaid provides hospice coverage, but it varies by state.
