Dr. Mara interviewed alone by Cyndi Mariner and Cindy Gum on All Things Caregiving: Breathing Spaces
Dr. Mara Karpel spent years working in nursing homes, but nothing could truly prepare her for becoming her own mother’s advocate. In this powerful conversation, Mara shares the emotional journey of navigating a healthcare system that often left her feeling unheard and unsupported. When doctors recommended hospice care for her mother, Mara trusted her instincts and courageously pushed for additional treatment and support. Her determination to advocate, ask questions, and ensure her mother’s voice was heard ultimately changed the outcome.
