Falling Through The Cracks of the Healthcare System

In this episode of I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes Podcast, Carrie Severson shares the moment she realized they'd fallen through the cracks. Despite all the check-ins, appointments, and protocols, Carrie learned—after Gavin was nearly finished with his cancer treatment plan, including several rounds of chemotherapy—that he was never even scheduled to see an oncology nurse. That same day, his essential medication was sent to the wrong pharmacy during one of the most critical and fragile points in his care. This episode is a raw look at the administrative breakdowns that can define the caregiver experience, and what it's really like to become the coordinator, advocate, and emotional anchor all at once. This episode reflects on the purpose of I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes podcast and Carrie share more tips for caregiving from her experience and invite listeners to share their thoughts. As this season of the show is coming to a close, she hopes to continue providing caregiver support for family caregivers when season two picks up in the fall!
