Editor-in-Chief Gary Barg sits down
with Dr. Arnot to talk about family
caregiving, the importance of
becoming healthcare disruptors and
other matters of the heart.
Gary
Barg: Your
dad passed away
after a massive
heart attack. I
was hoping you
would talk a
little bit about
your role as a
family
caregiver.
Bob
Arnot:
Well, with both
my parents,
there were a
number of
chronic diseases
that they had.
Both of them
actually did
have heart
disease.
I, as a
physician and
advocate, of
course, was
really trying to
upgrade their
care, which is a
tough, tough,
tough thing to
do...continued
Take Care Gary Barg Most
people hear about all the symptoms and side effects
of high blood pressure. The opposite end of the
spectrum can be just as daunting if not kept in
check. Low blood pressure is desirable in many

blood pressure can cause major damage to organs,
especially the brain...continued
I had a strained relationship with
hope before my wife was diagnosed with cancer. To me, hope

pain/pleasure cycle existing in infinite balance with its
opposite...continued Here are ten simple tips to make
living with low vision more manageable. 1.
Lighting Increase the amount of lighting directly
over the task that you are doing. Focus the light
directly onto what you are doing...continued How/where do I find someone to "talk" to
when I am at my wit's end? I have a caregiver
therapist, but I see him once a week for 50 minutes and it
is expensive. The moments I need to vent the most don't
always coincide with my appointment. Is there a
24-hour chat line? How do I get on it?
