This week, we're joined by Marsha Joiner, host of the Blog Talk Radio show, Betrayed by Hospice, and former Board Member of the Hospice Patients Alliance. Marsha joins us to discuss how hospice went from being a way for people who are actively dying to die with minimum pain and with dignity to a profit-making business, causing people who are not necessarily in that category are convinced to enter into their care and where patients are often given one-size fits all drugs. Marsha lost her own precious Mom by trusting hospice, where she was told they would do no harm but the worst harm imaginable killed her Mom. This experience led her to advocate for the elderly and made it her focus to warn others about the danger of trusting without verifying. In addition, to her podcast, Marsha has a facebook group, Murdered by Hospice, that gives victims' families a safe place to share their tragedies and ask questions. Marsha's goal is to inform the public, so that more informed decisions can be made without falling pray to manipulation.

Patricia is the Chair of Seniors for Social Action Ontario, she was a co-founder of the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, and she is a former President of Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities. She is also a recipient of a Government of Canada medal for service to her community. We are looking forward to having a discussion about elder advocacy

And Ruben & Minerva will talk about La Cruz De Huanacaxtle
Author and human rights/LGBTQ+ advocate, Michael Caputo returns to the show from NYC. In July 2020, he joined us to discuss his autobiography, Dear Pat Cooper, about his journey with a loving family and an absent father.
This time, he's back to discuss his second book, Chameleon: A Memoir. In this memoir, Michael shows us another side of himself, in which he vividly describes his harrowing journey coming out of the closet and living authentically, post-Stonewall, pre-HIV/AIDS epidemic, and thereafter. Michael writes, "I went from being an innocent altar boy to an older gay man caught up in the middle of the John Travolta sex scandal that put me on the front page of the Daily News and written up in People magazine and the National Enquirer....Once I let go of all that guilt that I grew up with and embraced my true self instead of hiding it, I started to live and enjoy my life."
Minerva & Ruben share a new place in Mexico.
