Marilena Grittani ~ The Legal Drug Dealer

This is a lengthy and very informative episode, with a very close to my heart colleague. Swapna Chakrabarti, RPh.

We are talking about Medication Therapy Management and how patients, caregivers, and family members can benefit from it.

Since it is a service included on Medicare part D plan, if you have more than 5 medications or more than 2 chronic diseases, you should demand it

Some of the most relevant points we made are:

• who is this episode for? This is for patients that are Medicare Part D, and have all the benefits of their insurance because this type of service is included. Not free, but included in what you already paid. So it's no extra payment. If you are a caregiver for somebody that has Medicare Part B and has medication therapy management as a service as well. And for everybody else that has a family member, a loved one, a parent, a grandparent, an in-law that might be having or that could have issues with their medications, and you know that they need help, but you don't know what to do
• "I went to pharmacy school in India. And we came here for graduate school, not as a practice not oriented towards practicing pharmacy but more towards the research. So I came to Pittsburgh for my masters and did my masters in medicinal chemistry and I hated it. I don't know why. But then what I know why because when I was in pharmacy school, the aspect of the medicinal chemistry, which is basically not just the synthesis of drugs, but how the drug actually works in your body, at the chemical level was so fascinating".
• It's hard, It is too it's hard. It's complicated. It's not the pharmacist that you see dispensing, filling up the vials with your medication. That is probably the last step in a long series of steps that we have taken to understand your medication. And that's not the only thing we do
• In the healthcare professions, Pharmacists actually top the lists of the most reliable healthcare professionals and that is definitely a historical reason for it. But we definitely want you to know, that we are not in there just to make money. So then we just fill your prescription bottles and get you out of there as soon as possible. That is not what We want to do so don't look at us through that lens. We are people, we are compassionate, we want to help you. So if you have to wait a little bit longer to get your prescription at the pharmacy, that's probably a reason for it.
• I think it's one of the noblest professions because we are there to help people use our expertise. But yeah, we are people too, we get our frustrating this we have. So when you are dealing with treating them, as we would expect a pharmacist to treat you kindly treat them kindly to as human beings, it's we are not just in there, just to save face just to make money off of the prescriptions that we are filling for you.

If you were struggling to start 2020, the way you wanted, then this episode will be perfect for you.

As adults, we don't think that fear is part of our life anymore, that stuff is or kid, right? Well, WRONG!

There is A LOT of fears that we keep in our mind, from as far as childhood, and unfortunately, they could affect the rest of our lives. That is why I invited my Executive Coach to discuss it.

We did not only have fun but also we covered a lot of ground on this subject.

Dr. Carla Michelle is an executive coach and a family therapist.

Among other stuff we talked about:

• Motivation is a Motive with an Action
• Confront your fears. You are missing out!
• Communication is key, not just about a plan, but communicating your feelings and your emotions and relieving yourself of that stress, or those stressors that come with life.
• Have a discovery call with you, and how we can how you see this event, being of service to you how I can be of service, and another therapist could be a service to you. We have coaching sessions.
• Maybe the patient or the parent, who was the one that is battling the illness, be as transparent as you can and, allow time if you can for your children it's hard as it may be, to handle the truth that stops us from taking care, you know, of having the conversations, it's fear.

Hello there!

This episode is one of the main focus of my podcast, and Dr. Veronica Riera-Gilley did not disappoint!

The conversation was informational, deep but easy to flow and such an eye-opener for many of you.

I would love to hear your comments about it at [email protected]

Some of the most relevant points she made are:

• Aging does not mean that you have to live in pain or uncomfortable, nor that you must take a lot of medications.
• Geriatrics is a branch of medicine dedicated to the aging population, as pediatrics is to kids.
• Pharmacists don't want to dispense drugs, we want to dispense education and health.
• Death is a sure thing, you might as well get prepared to make decisions that you don't want others to make.
