    National Alzheimers Awareness Month - Alzheimers Authors Speak Out

    In recognition of National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, this show features three renowned Alzheimer’s disease caregiving authors. My guests will take us through their acclaimed books and teach listeners what they can expect to learn from these best sellers on Alzheimer’s care giving. Susan Kohler MS, CCC-SLP works alongside doctors in showing techniques for communication to caregivers of Alzheimer's and Dementia. Her book, "How to Communicate with Alzheimer's: A Practical Guide & Workbook for Families" is wonderful contribution to the community. “Especially if you are living with someone who has Alzheimer’s, the simple act of communication can be challenging between you and your loved one”. Susan is a licensed/certified Speech-Language Pathologist, dedicating the past 15 years as a researcher at UCLA, hospitals and nursing homes. Jacqueline Marcell was so compelled by caring for her elderly parents who suffered with early Alzheimer’s, that once she figured everything out, she gave up her career as a television executive to become an advocate for eldercare awareness and reform. Jacqueline is the devoted daughter in her bestselling book, Elder Rage, a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, with over 50 endorsements including Hugh Downs, Regis Philbin, Johns Hopkins Memory Clinic, and the National Adult Day Services Association. She also received “Advocate of the Year” from the National Association of Women Business Owners at their Remarkable Women Awards. She has appeared on National TV programs and is an international speaker on Alzheimer ’s disease and hosts her own radio program,’ Coping with Care Giving’. As your host, medical doctor and Alzheimer’s disease expert and author of "I Hope They Know: The Essential Handbook on Alzheimer's Disease and Care “and "Espero que sepan...La guía holística para la enfermedad de Alzheimer", we pledge to take listeners through the specifics of what you need to know from these must have books.

Linda writes to individuals and families facing death understanding they may not know how to express the range of emotions, questions, and discoveries they experience.

Now a unique resource, Facing Death: A Companion in Words and Images, can help open the door to meaningful conversation, reminiscence, and reflection at the end of life.

    “Medical Ethics and the “Concept of a Good Death” Part Two

    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
