    Dr. Saima Rashid and Dr. Parmvir Bahia - The Caregiver's episode part 2
    Aug 11 2025
    Terms like hospice and palliative care can instantly make us think of worst case scenarios, but whether you are a patient or a caregiver, they should be considered a normal part of the experience offered by experts in Supportive Care Medicine. Treating a patient is not just about killing the cancer, but doing everything you can to improve their quality of life, a subject that Dr. Saima Rashid is familiar with as a specialist in palliative care, and Parmvir as a caregiver to her sister Sukhneil. Join us to learn more about how and when to request services, and the benefits that they offer.

    Mr. Travis Coy & Dr. Parmvir Bahia - The Caregiver's Episode part 1
    Aug 5 2025
    Cancer is a profoundly disabling illness, whether that is due to side effects from the life-saving treatments or the disease itself. Understandably then, patients need constant and vital support in the form of caregivers, but who do we consider to be a caregiver, and what does their role involve? In this episode we discuss the essential role of caregivers, who qualifies as a caregiver, and the responsibilities they take on. We also address an important question: who looks after the caregivers when they themselves are impacted? Join us as we uncover the challenges and rewards of caregiving in the context of cancer, and highlight the importance of support for those who give so much to others.

    June is recognized in the US as Caribbean-American Heritage Month. So what better time to say Sante! or Cheers! to recognize the important achievements of researchers working to support members of the Caribbean community. We speak with Dr. Dorothie Durosier Mertilus about how important it is it literally be able to speak someone’s language; in her case French or Haitian Creole. We hear from from Dr. Clement Gwede, the scientist whose lab is out in the community. Coming at gaps in care from different angles means that patients can be supported in meaningful ways, to offer them the best outcomes.
