58. Carrot Cake, Chaos & Compassion
Manage episode 430496380 series 3557605
This episode starts out chaotic, fun, frivolous and hilarious - talking carrot cake and nudist camps - all in the same breath! Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and producer Sue Duffield, take the rabbit trail down that crazy path of spilled medicine caplets, Mark Lowry's giant custom pill box container, to even talking (as friends do) about the dilemma of knowing whether or not you're taking the right pill at the right time, or if you took it at all, for that matter!
Also discussed on this episode is Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that is recently becoming the "go to" therapy in treatment-resistant depression, or those with dementia and compromised brain health. The safety, however, of ECT has been consistently questioned, particularly among elderly patients with cognitive impairment. Mary Anne greatly questions the use of this kind of therapy with dementia patients and has seen personally the "not so good" results.
The Veranda Ministries is a compassionate oasis allowing caregivers to entrust their loved ones with care on a daily basis. And so is the heart of this podcast, to "do the right thing, for the right reason."
