By Donna Cardillo The inevitable had happened. My mother-in-law, three months shy of her 100th birthday, passed away. I knew it would be my responsibility to empty her apartment and pack up or dispose of her belongings. Why me, the daughter-in-law? Because I was her primary caregiver. Both of her sons were ill or disabled … The Daughter-in-Law Read More » The post The Daughter-in-Law first appeared on Donna Cardillo, RN.

Not our usual topic of discussion, but an important one never-the-less – self-publishing. Why? I’ve been advised for years that having your own book was something that all business owners should do, that it helps establish you as an expert in your field, and this idea is just as true for clinicians as it is with other types of business owners.

I replied, “No, not really.” When he asked me why not, I recounted how I had started writing this Medical Margins blog back in 2010 as I was processing my elderly father’s final illness and the insanity of the US healthcare system, especially related to end-of-life care.

Since I started my sabbatical, my friends are always asking how my sabbatical is going. They also like to poke fun at what I do. During my sabbatical, if I say that I am working, their response is, “ Tommy, you don’t have a job.” A joke well understood from the show Martin in the 90s. Although I laugh at this joke, my sabbatical journey sparks conversations with my family and friends about sabbaticals.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years.

The title itself is a bit jarring and had me contemplating if I was setting myself up for a life that is exhausting.

I worked as a Neurosurgical Step-Down nurse for many years. We typically received our patients from the ED, OR, or Neuro ICU.
