Welcome to the HITea With Grace podcast, where we spill the tea on all things health IT. In this episode, I’m honored to have Shara Cohen, CEO of Carallel, as our guest. We’ll explore a powerful concept: starting to consider caregiving as a diagnosis in itself. Traditionally, caregiving was viewed as a private duty, often handled quietly by women without a care for how it impacts them. Now, the dialogue and experience around caregiving is evolving, and we’re diving deep into those changes today. Shara will share her unique journey to leading Carallel and how caregiving has become more widely recognized as a critical health issue. We’ll also discuss how caregivers—especially those in the "sandwich generation" caring for both their children and aging parents—are managing the significant emotional and physical toll of this responsibility. How can digital technology offer solutions to help these individuals thrive? And what specific challenges do certain populations, like military families or minority communities, face?

Behind every POTS diagnosis is a patient who had to fight for answers. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is often misdiagnosed because its symptoms mimic so many other conditions. In fact, it is often dismissed as “just anxiety”, but anxiety is a secondary side effect of the fact that the patient keeps having syncopal episodes without explanation.To dig deeper into its diagnosis and treatment challenges, Sarah turned to Dr. Alexis Cutchins, cardiologist and co-author of a key article on the management of POTS. In this episode, Dr. Cutchins breaks down the symptoms, possible causes and contributing factors of this complex and misunderstood disorder. She also explores treatment strategies and new research that could improve patient outcomes.Tune in to hear Dr. Cutchins’ insights into how healthcare professionals can better recognize POTS and advocate for patients!Topics discussed in this episode:What is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)?Causes and contributing factors of POTSCommon symptoms of POTSDiagnostic tests and diagnostic challengesThe treatment process and effective strategiesNew developments in POTS researchTreating POTS in an emergency situationHow to better manage and advocate for patientsRead Dr. Cutchins' article, Narrative Review of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: Associated Conditions and Management Strategies: https://www.uscjournal.com/articles/narrative-review-postural-orthostatic-tachycardia-syndrome-associated-conditions-andPOTS patients can find more information and resources here:https://www.dysautonomiainternational.org/Print this guide to plan for POTS emergencies with your physician!https://supertmastcell.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/SuperT-PatientReferenceGuide-2024.pdfMentioned in this episode:Rapid Response Academy LinkWanna check out Rapid Response Academy: The Heart and Science of Caring for the Sick? click this link to learn more: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/communityRapid Response and Rescue Intro CourseCONNECT 📸 Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapidresponsern/ 🫶 Check out my membership: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/community 📚 Check out my course: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/learnmore 🧑‍💻Check out my website: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/ 📬 Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/login 🎁 Affiliation and discounts: https://hoo.be/therapidresponsern SAY THANKS 💜Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/rapid-response-rn/id1535997752 💚Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/55LQqeDg6XFeixvZLEp4xE To get the FREE Rapid Response RN Assessment Guide and the coupon code for $10 off the cost of the course, message Sarah on Instagram @TheRapidResponseRN and type the word PODCAST!

Caroline is featured in James Redford’s documentary film, “Playing for Keeps”, where she speaks about her own journey of what inspired her to become an oncology nurse, her personal experience with burnout and compassion fatigue, her discovery of play through hula hooping, and how teaching hula hooping inspires and cultivates joy.
