Dr. Jon Segal, founder of Discount Medical Supplies, continues to spread the word about the challenges of modern caregivers. This month he was part of a second Caregiving 101 segment on Lifetime’s “The Balancing Act.” He informed viewers about the importance of sharing responsibility and avoiding caregiver burnout.
Dr. Segal also explained that there is both help and hope for the millions of Americans who are taking care of an elderly or sick loved one. He said caregiver stress can sometimes have a detrimental effect on the health of the caregiver at rapid pace. But he says this problem can be controlled if it is address properly in time. He says caregivers should not hesitate to reach out to the myriad of resources available including support groups, local services, and reading materials.
Other resources available to caregivers include online medical supply stores that will deliver the products to your doorstep. One such outlet is Discount Medical Supplies, founded by Dr. Segal, which is a physician-operated online medical equipment and supply company run by doctors. It provides medical products for a variety of uses, including chiropractic and physical therapy. It offers items related to pain relief, wound care, diabetes, incontinence, rehabilitation, over the counter, supplements, orthopedics, mobility aids, massage, acupuncture, fitness, bathroom safety, clinic supplies and more.
As a caregiver himself, Dr. Segal is uniquely qualified to express the challenges faced by caregivers. His decision to start an online medical supply company stemmed from the desire to serve the needs of caregivers and patients alike. “Caregivers are not given the attention they need to battle depression, stress and the many difficulties that come with the job. We have made it our mission to fill that void and be there for all caregivers so they know they are not alone,” says Dr. Segal.
