Managing Medications
in Home Management
It is becoming more frequent to see medications distributed in blister packs, rather than in pill bottles. Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors. For the elderly, this packaging style can be very difficult to manage, if the person has problems with fine motor or hand coordination and/or arthritis. If you…

Do You Have Breathing Problems?
in Medical Conditions
I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living. When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens? The most common reaction to a lack of oxygen is a sensation of panic, because our brain is very smart. Our brains tell our lungs to respond with small, quick breaths to compensate for the feeling that we do not have…
