Unfortunately addiction/impaired mental health runs rampant among the medical community whether it is alcohol/drugs/psychiatric issues.

Fortunately, there is help for those across the United States that suffer from this. That help mostly comes from peer assistance programs with each states licensing board that keep them from losing their license and remain anonymous to their board if they are following the program set up for them.

I recently lost my sister whose life care proxy specified on it how she wouldn't want to "live" on life support. The problem is that after just a few weeks in the hospital recovering from an infection, she was not waking up consistently. She did in fact wake up after the first week and the family had hoped she would recover. She was on all sorts of meds and as far as I know didn't lose any oxygen to her brain. She was having seizures and the drs assumed she had brain damage. She was discharged from the hospital by her health care proxy (non relative*) to hospice and died the following day. My sister had MS and although I believe in her end of life miracles she provided to us that day, and that I tried every effort to let her know she could wake up, I believe she chose to leave this life. However, I cannot reconcile the definition of the time frame of "living" on life support as most proxies or living wills use. When someone had an accident or illness...how long do we allow for recovery as opposed to sustaining life??? This is a BIG issue, but I believe the The Doctors can accurately present both sides of this important issue, the miracles vs. the realities, and STRESS the importance of specifics in ones health care directives.

I have my mother taking part in a program for people who have dementia. It is called art without boundaries. This program stimulates the brain by painting with the person. Please check out this web site. I am not an expert on this, but I know my mom enjoyes the activities and it seems to help. I think others would benefit from this program.

I also wish you would discuss the different types of dementia.

How about a show dedicated to what ails seniors and what seniors should do to ensure they live as well as and aslong as possible . I'm a health 63 year old except for arthritic knees....so what are my options for fixing the knees or keep them from continuting to deteriorate. I have bone on bone arthritis in my big toes..... so what do I do for that? I did have a frozen shoulder, common I was told to older women and those with diabetes (which is not me). There are lots of things seniors would like to know about their aging bodies/minds!

I help 2 Doctors form South Florida, with a team of medical personnel that have been saving the lives of young children from indigent families in third world nations by providing totally cost free open heart surgery on these dying children. They have been doing this for over 14 years and ask for nothing in return other than the opportunity to be able to continue these efforts. This would also be an excellent feature for the Doctors Go Global segment and would go along way to helping the team continue being able to save these dying children.

I am trying to change the law of Rape to Manslaughter but I need a form for the law makers to understand what happens to a person once this happens to people.

I am trying to change the law of Rape to Manslaughter but I need a form for the law makers to understand what happens to a person once this happens to people.

For me it changed me completely it went on with me for nine (9) years from the age of twelve (12) through the age of twenty-one (21) and only stopped when I got married the first time.

I went from a loving child to a person that nobody knew in fact the family would often wonder aloud what happened to that loving child.

I would refuse any effection from any part of family always afraid I would talk about what he was doing to me because he told me over and over again that if I did he would kill my family starting with my mother and let me watch so I never ever spoke.

I lost many many hours of sleep when I would sleep I would dream he was around ending screaming seven (7) to ten (10) times a night. I would curl up in my bed or would walk through my house screaming. I lost many many good jobs with this horrible temper never wanting anyone to get close to me because I was always afraid of talking all this time I never realized what he did to me kept with me no matter what I was doing. I lost so many parts of my family because I wouldn't allow any of them close to me because I wa protecting them from harm.

I finally got the help I needed many many years later because my second husband just couldn't take anymore because I was a very mean person to him and always angry. I wouldn't allow him to look at me to long because I didn't like it and when it came to touching I only allowed it when I wanted it no sooner or later.

When the person told me where all of this was coming and mind you I had no idea because as he said the rape was me and I was the rape and until it got separated and I understood what he did to me this would continue.

I still have problems today at the age of sixty-three (63) but I know how to handle it but when I am extremely tired that horrible personality comes out and I can't stop it so my darling husband knows to stay away but I don't appreciate the fact what he did to me.

Please help all the rape victims and now survivors and discuss openly about what happens to the survivors of Rape because you never hear their side of the aftermath of Rape.

The law has to change from Rape to Manslaughter to have stiffer sentences and that is a fact.
