An Interview with Larry King
Larry King
was the Emmy award winning host of CNN’s longest running interview
program. Dubbed “the most remarkable talk-show host on TV ever” by
TV Guide and “master of the mike” by TIME magazine, the show
featured guests from across the gamut of business, entertainment and
politics including present and past presidents, kings, queens, movie
stars and health care professionals. After a massive heart attack in
1987, Mr. King created the Larry King Cardiac Foundation to provide
funding for life saving cardiac procedures for individuals who, due
to limited means and no insurance, would be otherwise unable to
receive life saving treatment. Editor-in-Chief Gary Barg turns the
tables on the nation’s leading interviewer for a heart felt and wide
ranging conversation.
Gary Barg: I don’t think that you would remember, but this is

Larry
King: When was the last one?
GB: It was 40 years ago. It was
on a houseboat across from the Fountainbleu hotel in Miami Beach,
Florida. I was about 10 years old and going to Camp Ocala. You were
interviewing the owners of the camp and they wanted to bring a

appreciated that...continued

The Attack of the Shower Chair
By Susan Leck

Disease. I was his caregiver. One of the hardest things for Bud was
to have to depend on me or anyone else for toileting and hygiene.
Bud hated not being able to get into the shower
any longer, and I was determined that this was one thing he could
continue to do---we just needed to make a couple of adjustments...continued

When and How To Say "No" to
Caregiving
By Deborah Colgan
When is it time to say “No”?
How does a caregiver know when he or she can
no longer manage the daily caregiving
routines and planning responsibilities? What
signals alert the caregiver that he or she
is in trouble of getting lost in caregiving?
Can a caregiver who cherishes a loved one
set limits on responsibilities without
feeling guilty or morally bankrupt? These
are questions at the heart of successful,
long-term caregiving...continued
