CITY.

(00:58):
GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE
AND WELCOME TO THIS FRIDAY
EDITION OF "KENTUCKY EDITION."
IT IS APRIL THE 11TH AND WE ARE
READY FOR THE WEEKEND.
WE HOPE YOU ARE, TOO.
AND WE THANK YOU FOR KICKING IT
OFF WITH US.
>>> WE BEGIN WITH A TRAGIC
UPDATE TO THE DEATH TOLL FROM
RECENT SEVERE WEATHER.
A SEVENTH PERSON HAS DIED AS A
RESULT OF KENTUCKY'S FLOODS.
(01:19):
THE LATEST VICTIM IS FROM
PENDLETON COUNTY THIS IS IN
ADDITION TO DEATHS IN FRANKLIN,
TRIGG, CARROLL, BULLITT,
MCCRACKEN AND NELSON COUNTIES.
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS HAS BEGUN
SENDING OUT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
TEAMS THROUGH FLOOD-AFFECTED
AREAS THROUGHOUT THE
COMMONWEALTH.
THE VOLUNTEERS TRAVEL FROM HOME
TO HOME TO SEE WHO WAS AFFECTED
(01:41):
BY THE FLOODS AND JUST HOW THE
WATER AND DEBRIS IMPACTED THEIR
HOMES.
>> WE HAVE ABOUT JUST UNDER A
DOZEN VOLUNTEERS GOING OUT TODAY
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
THE FOCUS IS ON THE FRANKLIN
COUNTY AREA TODAY.
THEY WILL GO OUT AND BASICALLY
TRAVEL THAT AREA, OBSERVE THE
(02:03):
RESIDENCES AND SOME OF THE
DAMAGE AND GET AN IDEA WHAT
DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THESE
WEATHER IMPACTS.
>> THIS ONE IS MORE DRASTIC, I
THINK BECAUSE IT IS A PROLONGED
FLOOD.
>> WENT TO BED SATURDAY NATURE
AND GOT UP SUNDAY MORNING, AND
LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND I
THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE
PHYSICALLY ILL.
IT WAS PROBABLY FOUR, FIVE FEET
(02:26):
AWAY FROM THE CRAWL SPACE.
WE MADE THE DECISION TO GO AHEAD
AND MOVE OUR FURNITURE THAT WE
COULD UP TO A HIGHER LEVEL ON
TABLES AND WHATNOT.
I CUT THE POWER.
SHORTLY BEFORE I GOT IN THE
CRAWL SPACE BECAUSE WE HAVE
ELECTRICAL LINES IN THE CRAWL
SPACE.
THE FIRST NIGHT IT WASN'T TOO
BAD.
I THINK IT GOT DOWN TO 55°,
(02:49):
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT, MONDAY NIGHT, IT GOT INTO
THE 30s.
AND WHEN WE WOKE UP TUESDAY
MORNING, WITH NO POWER IT WAS
52° IN THE HOUSE AND WE MADE
QUICK WORK OF GETTING OUT AND
GOING SOMEWHERE.
>> THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT ENABLES
THE RED CROSS TO KNOW WHERE TO
SEND OUR RESOURCES THE.
(03:11):
YOU KNOCK, LIKE OUR DES, THE
DISTRIBUTION OF EMERGENCY
SUPPLIES.
IT GIVES THEM AN AREA WHERE THE
POCKETS THE DAMAGE IS AT.
AND IT HELPS THEM GET THEIR
RESOURCES QUICKER.
WHAT WE'LL DO IS GET INTO THESE
AREAS AND TRY TO DO THIS
ASSESSMENT ON HOMES FLOODED BY
THE FLOOD.
(03:32):
WE GOT DIFFERENT CRITERIAS WE
USE TO PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE
THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE FAMILIES.
ALL OF OUR WORK IS DONE ON
OUTSIDE.
WE LOOK FOR WATERLINES.
AND THEN WE GOT FEMA CHART WE GO
BY TO DETERMINE THE
(03:52):
CLASSIFICATIONS.
>> AFTER WE'LL WORK WITH THESE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
IDENTIFY THEIR NEEDS AND DO OUR
BEST TO SUPPORT THEM AS THEY
WORK ON THEIR ROAD TO RECOVERY.
AND THAT CAN DIFFER DEPENDING ON
THE PERSON, DEPENDING ON THE
COMMUNITY.
>> PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUS TO GET
BACK INTO THEIR HOMES TO SEE
(04:13):
WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET ON
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
>> TUESDAY MORNING AROUND 11:00
A.M. WE MADE THE DECISION AFTER
THE WATER RECEDED TO TURN THE
ELECTRICITY BACK ON.
AND TO OUR AMAZEMENT EVERYTHING
CAME BACK ON WITHOUT A HITCH.
NO BREAKERS TRIPPED NOTHING LIKE
THAT.
IN THE BEGINNING WE WERE SO
(04:33):
THANKFUL TO BE DRY AND THE WATER
DID NOT DAMAGE INTERIOR PORTIONS
OF THE HOUSE AND WE HAD HEAT
AGAIN.
>> IT'S WIDESPREAD NOT ONLY DO
YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE
RIVER AND THE KENTUCKY RIVER YOU
HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE STREAMS
GOING INTO THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
WIDESPREAD OPERATION IT'S
COVERING JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE
STATE.
(04:53):
QUITE A FEW HOMES THAT WATER'S
SIX, SEVEN FEET INSIDE THE
HOMES.
AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF AREAS ARE
STILL INACCESSIBLE BECAUSE OF
THE HIGH WATERS ON THE ROADS.
THE DAMAGE IS OUT THERE WE HAVE
TO GO OUT AND FIND IF.
THE RED CROSS HAS
NEARLY 400 VOLUNTEERS ON THE
(05:14):
GROUND FOR FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS
IN THE STATE.
FOR LOUISVILLE, THIS WAS THE
EIGHTH WORST FLOOD IN THE CITY'S
HISTORY.
AND THE WORST SINCE 1997.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO MAYOR CRAIG
GREENBERG.
TODAY, HE SAID THE RIVER CRESTED
AT JUST UNDER 37 FEET.
AND HAS ALREADY GONE DOWN ABOUT
THREE FEET.
HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE CITY'S
(05:36):
RESPONSE AND THE BEGINNING OF
THE CLEAN UP EFFORT.
>> DURING THESE WEATHER EVENTS,
THE CITY LISTENED.
HEEDED THE WARNINGS.
OBEYED THE ROAD CLOSURES.
AND I'M THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE
THAT TO OUR KNOWLEDGE WE DO NOT
EXPERIENCE A SINGLE INJURY OR
DEATH AS A RESULT OF THIS
(05:56):
WEATHER EVENT OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SO NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS
BEHIND US, SO NOW THAT THE RIVER
HAS CRESTED THE HARD PART
BEGINS.
AND THAT'S THE CLEANUP.
TODAY, WE ARE ANNOUNCING A
CITYWIDE FLOOD DISASTER CLEAN UP
(06:17):
PLAN.
LAST NIGHT, I AUTHORIZED AND
TOMORROW BEGINS, THIS CLEAN UP
EFFORT.
STARTING SATURDAY MORNING, WE
WILL HAVE CREWS ALL ALONG THE
OHIO RIVER IN THE EAST AND THE
WEST AND THE SOUTHWEST, RIGHT
HERE DOWNTOWN.
THEY WILL BE CLEARING ROADWAYS
FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS.
(06:37):
REMOVING FLOOD DEBRIS, TRASH,
AND MUD FROM PARKS, SIDEWALKS,
PARKING LOTS AND OTHER PUBLIC
SPACES.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN EASY
PROCESS.
BUT OUR EXPECTATION IS THAT OUR
PARKS, ROADWAYS, AND OTHER
PUBLIC SPACES, INCLUDING WATER
FUN PARK ARE GOING TO BE
RESTORED IN THEIR ORIGINAL
(06:57):
CONDITION BRIGHT, SHINEY AND
CLEAN IN TIME FOR THE KENTUCKY
DERBY WHICH IS THREE WEEKS FROM
TOMORROW.
THE MAYOR SAID CLEAN
UP OF THE RIVERFRONT AREA WILL
COST AN ESTIMATED $5 MILLION.
HE SAYS FEMA WILL REIMBURSE
LOUISVILLE FOR 87% OF THAT COST.
AND MAYOR GREENBERG SAYS WE
(07:20):
SHOULD KNOW MORE NEXT WEEK ABOUT
FEDERAL HELP FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
AND HOMES.
NEW FLOODING WAS ON THE WAY BUT
THIS IS WAY MORE THAN THEY
EXPECTED.
THE WATER COVERED THE VISITORS'
PARKING LOT LAST NIGHT BUT THIS
MORNING THE WATER RECEDED.
PEOPLE FROM THE DISTILLERY
(07:40):
TALKED TODAY HOW THEY HANDLED
THE CRISIS.
>> AS MANY OF YOU KNOW IN OUR
200 PLUS YEAR HISTORY WE HAVE
LIVED THROUGH A FEW FLOODS THIS
PAST WEEK HAS BEEN THE LATEST
AND ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE WE'VE
SEEN.
FIRST, THE HEAD OF THE FLOOD WE
HAVE AN EXTENSIVE PLAN THAT
INCLUDES MOVING THE BARRELS ON
(08:00):
THE LOWER FLOORS TO THE UPPER
FLOORS ACROSS THE DILL IRY --
DISTILLERY.
THE DAMAGE IS BEING DETERMINED
BUT INCLUDES MANY BUILDINGS ON
CAMPUS, PRODUCTION, TO BOURBON
TO THE STILL HOUSE, THE GUEST
EXPERIENCE BUILDINGS SUCH AS THE
VISITORS CENTER.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE FLOODWATER
(08:21):
HAS COMPLETELY RECEDED OUT OF
BUFFALO TRACE GRANTING US ACCESS
TO THE ENTIRE CAMPUS WHICH
ALLOWS US TO IMPLEMENT OUR
NORMAL FLOOD RECOVERY PLANS.
WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF TRADE
EXPERTS, PROFESSIONALS ON-SITE
AT THE DISTILLERY SUPPORTING OUR
CLEAN UP, RESTORATION AND
INFRASTRUCTURE REMEDIATION.
OUR DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND MAIN
(08:43):
BOTTLING OPERATION DID NOT TAKE
ON FLOODWATERS.
AND THUS DISTRIBUTION BEGAN
TODAY.
WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED OUT THIS
MORNING.
FIRST LOAD.
THE DISTILLERY TEAM IS WORKING
TOWARD RESUMING BOTTLING
OPERATIONS AS EARLY AS NEXT
WEEK.
TEAMS ARE WORKING DILL GENERALLY
TO RESTORE POWER AND NETWORK
(09:04):
ISSUES AT OUR DISTILLERY.
THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE TEAM IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO WELCOMING
GUESTS SOON IN A MODIFIED
CAPACITY.
AS OF NOW, THE DISTILLERY WILL
BE CLOSED TO VISITORS THROUGH
SUNDAY APRIL 13TH.
IN THE MEANTIME, TEAMS ARE
WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REOPEN THE
VISITORS CENTER IN A MODIFIED
CAPACITY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
(09:24):
AS WE BRING BUILDINGS AND
EQUIPMENT BACK INTO OUR SERVICE
OUR TEAMS ARE ENSURING THERE IS
NO COMPROMISE TO OUR QUALITY.
INSPECTION OF BARRELS BEGAN
YESTERDAY AND WILL BE ONGOING
UNTIL ANY AFFECTED BARRELS HAVE
BEEN APPROPRIATELY ASSESSED AND
THIS IS A VERY INVOLVED PROCESS
INCLUDING BOTH BARREL INSPECTION
(09:44):
AS WELL AS A RIGOROUS QUALITY
TESTING THAT WE DO WITH ALL OF
OUR PRODUCTS PRODUCED AT BUFFALO
TRACE.
INSPECTION IS EXPECTED TO TAKE
SEVERAL WEEKS.
HOWEVER, WE DO NOT EXPECT TO
EXPERIENCE MEANINGFUL LOSS OF
OUR INVENTORY.
NEXT WEEK, THE
DISTILLERY IS PLANNING TO OPEN
FOR VISITORS WHOSE APPOINTMENTS
(10:06):
WERE CANCELED DUE TO THE
FLOODINGS.
YOU CAN FIND MORE UPDATES WHEN
THEY WILL BE FULLY OPEN AND BACK
TO NORMAL OPERATIONS ON THEIR
SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.
>>> RISING FLOODWATERS ARE
CUTTING OFF ACCESS TO ANOTHER
KENTUCKY COMMUNITY THIS TIME
IT'S STANLEY AND DAVIESS COUNTY
IN WESTERN KENTUCKY.
THE OHIO RIVER IS EXPECTED TO
CREST SATURDAY FLOODING U.S. 60
(10:28):
NEAR THE TOWN.
CREWS WITH THE KENTUCKY
TRANSPORTATION CABINET SPENT
THURSDAY REPAVING A SECTION OF
ROADWAY TO MAKE IT HIGHER SO
THERE AND WOULD BE LESS WATER ON
THE ROAD.
IT WANTED TO KEEP THE ROADWAY
OPEN FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO
GIVE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE
COMMUNITY TIME TO GET OUT.
GOODING IS COMMON IN THE AREA.
ONE EMERGENCY OFFICIAL DESCRIBED
(10:49):
WHY THIS FLOOD EVENT IS EXPECTED
TO BE DIFFERENT.
>> THIS IS A 1 100-YEAR FLOOD
FOR THE SAME AREA.
THERE WILL BE WATER INSIDE
HOUSES INSIDE DURING THIS EVENT
BUT THE LAST EVENT IN FEBRUARY,
RIGHT, THAT WAS NOT AN UNUSUAL
FLOOD FOR THIS AREA.
EVERYBODY WAS PREPARED FOR IT.
(11:10):
WE DIDN'T GET A RECORD OF ANY
HOUSES THAT WILL A LOT OF WATER
INSIDE OF THEM.
BASEMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT,
BUT NOTHING REPORTABLE
NECESSARILY.
THESE EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT.
WE WILL SEE THE HIGHEST WATER
MOST OF THE HOMES IN THIS
COMMUNITY HAVE SEEN.
FOR OVER THE NEXT SATURDAY WILL
(11:31):
BE A GOOD TELL ON THAT.
PORTIONS OF U.S. 60
AND DAVIESS COUNTY AND HENDERSON
AND HANCOCK COUNTIES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE BLOCKED FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.
>>> NOW WE'LL TALK ABOUT
KENTUCKY'S RESPONSE TO THE FLOOD
AND THE RECOVERY EFFORTS MONDAY
NIGHT ON A SPECIAL EDITION OF
"KENTUCKY TONIGHT".
YOU WILL HEAR FROM ELECTED
(11:53):
OFFICIALS, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
FOLKS AND THE AMERICAN RED
CROSS.
THAT PROGRAM IS MONDAY NIGHT AT
8:00 P.M. 7:00 P.M. CENTRAL HERE
ON KET AND WE INVITE YOUR
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.
>>> OH, DEAR.
WILDLIFE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE
RISING WATERS ARE MOVING INTO
MORE URBAN AREAS.
A DEER ENDED UP INSIDE THE
(12:14):
CHESTNUT STREET FAMILY YMCA
TUESDAY MORNING.
AND THERE'S VIDEO.
AS A PLOIFER POLICE OFFICER
GUIDED THE DEER OUTSIDE.
>> SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS HI,
GIRL.
IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.
(12:38):
YOU HAVE TO TRESPASS OFF THE
PROPERTY, OKAY?
I HAVE A DEER OUT OF THE
(13:00):
PROPERTY.
I THINK THE DEER FOUND
A NEW HOME.
PRETTY COOPERATIVE THERE SHE
WAS.
NO ONE WAS HURT IN ALL OF THIS.
PEOPLE OR THE DEER.
[♪♪]
>>> IN OTHER NEWS, AN
11-YEAR-OLD LOUISVILLE BOY IS
(13:20):
THE FIRST PERSON IN THE U.S. TO
RECEIVE A NEW TYPE OF COCHLEAR
IMPLANT.
THE IMPLANTED WAS PERFORMED AT
U.K. HEALTHCARE AFTER USING
HEARING AIDS FOR YEARS, HE
ADMITS THE NEW DEVICE IS TAKING
SOME GETTING USED TO BUT IT'S
OPENING HIM UP TO A WORLD OF NEW
OPPORTUNITIES.
DETAILS IN TONIGHT'S LOOK AT
MEDICAL NEWS.
(13:43):
>> HEARING LOSS CAN BE REALLY
CHALLENGING TO DEAL WITH.
THERE IS A QUOTE THAT SAYS
BLINDNESS SEPARATES US FROM
THINGS.
AND DEAFNESS SEPARATES US FROM
PEOPLE.
I DO THINK THERE IS AN ASPECT OF
HEARING AND VERBAL COMMUNICATION
THAT IS UNIQUELY HUMAN OR
UNIQUELY CONNECTS US TO PEOPLE.
BEING ABLE TO CONNECT TO
(14:05):
SOMEBODY ELSE'S VOICE,
ESPECIALLY THE VOICES OF LOVED
ONES OR FRIENDS THAT CAN BE
REALLY CHALLENGING TO DEAL WITH.
>> IT AFFECTED ME PLAYING
BASEBALL.
BUT I WOULD ALWAYS LOOK AT MY
DAD, AND BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE
TO HEAR MY COACH.
AND MY OTHER TEAMMATES SO I
WOULD COUNT ON MY DAD TO HELP ME
(14:26):
OUT.
>> THERE'S DATA SHOWING
SIGNIFICANT SCHOOL STRUGGLES
EVEN WHEN APPROPRIATE
ACCOMMODATIONS ARE BEING MADE.
IT CAN BE A REALLY BIG CHALLENGE
NOT ONLY FOR THE CHILD OR THE
ADULT, BUT ALSO FOR THE FAMILY.
>> IN FOURTH GRADE I WOULD LOOK
AT MY FOURTH GRADE TEACHER
WHENEVER SHE ASKED ME A
(14:47):
QUESTION.
I WAS LIKE I COULDN'T BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND HER.
SO FOURTH GRADE TEACHER TOLD MY
PARENTS ABOUT IT, AT FIRST THEY
WAS MAD ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
BUT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT
BECAUSE I DIDN'T TELL THEM.
I DIDN'T NOTICE IT EITHER.
>> WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF
(15:08):
PARENT GUILT A LOT OF WHAT DID I
DO WRONG?
OR WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE
BETTER?
OR HOW DID I NOT KNOW?
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, AFTER YOU GO
THROUGH THAT GRIEVING OF THE
HEARING LOSS OR MY SON IS NOT
WHAT I THOUGHT MAYBE, HE WOULD
BE, THEN REALITY SETS IN AND
(15:30):
WHILE I HAVE TO PREPARE HIM FOR
LIFE AND I STILL HAVE TO BE
PREPARE HIM TO BE A BLACK BOY IN
A WORLD THAT IS NOT ABOUT THE
FOR HIM AND NOW HEARING LOSS IN
A WORLD THAT IS NOT BUILT FOR
HIM.
>> A IMPLANTED IS I AM PLANTED
INTO THE INNER EAR, TO BYPASS
(15:51):
THE EAR THAT DOESN'T WORK
PROPERLY TO CONVEY A SENSE OF
SOUND TO THE BRAIN.
IT HAS A MICROPHONE WHERE IT
RECEIVES SOUND WAVES FROM THE
EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT.
AND IT CHANGES THOSE THROUGH
SOME MECHANISMS INTO ELECTRICAL
SIGNALS THAT THEN ARE SENT INTO
(16:16):
THE COCHLEA AND IT WILL
STIMULATE THE HEARING NERVE AND
THE HEARING NERVE TAKES THE
ELECTRICAL IMPULSES, SENDS THEM
TO THE BRAIN AND THE BRAIN
LEARNS TO INTERPRET THOSE
SIGNALS AS SOUND.
WHEN PEOPLE FIRST GET A COCHLEAR
(16:36):
IMPLANT TURNED ON IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS SOUND NATURAL.
DOESN'T ALWAYS SOUND NORMAL.
WHAT HAPPENS OVER TIME IS THAT
YOUR BRAIN, LEARNS TO UTILIZE
THOSE SIGNALS AND IT WILL
INTERPRET THOSE AS SPEECH
OVERTIME.
>> HE IS NOW STARTING TO SAY
THAT THINGS DON'T SOUND AS FUNNY
WITH THE IMPLANT AND WE'RE
(16:56):
STARTING TO GO WITHOUT THE
HEARING AID IN THE LEFT EAR WHEN
WE ARE NOT AT SCHOOL SO HE CAN
GET USED TO SOLELY DEPENDING ON
THE IMPLANTED.
>> HAVING THE IMPLANT IS BETTER
BECAUSE I CAN HEAR MY TEACHER,
MY CLASSMATES AND SCHOOL.
WHEN I GOT IT ACTIVATED AND I
(17:16):
GOT IT TURNED ON, I WAS LIKE I
NEVER SMILED THIS MUCH.
BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO
HEAR EVEN BETTER THAN WITHOUT
THE HEARING AIDS.
>> I THINK HE IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO BE AN EXAMPLE JUST BY
LIVING AND EXCELLING.
(17:37):
HE LIGHTS UP A ROOM PEOPLE LOVE
DJ.
TEACHING HIM IT'S OKAY TO BE YOU
AND TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT,
THAT'S MY JOB.
DJ IS BROADENING HIS
HORIZONS AND WILL BE PURSUING
MEDIA ARTS AND MUSIC FOR THE
ARTS IN LOUISVILLE THE NEXT
SCHOOL YEAR.
OUR BEST TO HIM.
(18:00):
>>> MANY KENTUCKIANS ARE TAKING
MULTIPLE PRESCRIPTION SON DRUGS
AT ONE.
WE EXPLORED THOSE CHALLENGES
DURING OUR SPECIAL PROGRAM
SENIORS AND MEDICATION OUR NEXT
CHAPTER FORUM THAT AIRED MONDAY
ON KET.
AMONG THE 0 TOPICS KEEPING TABS
ON ALL YOUR MEDICINE.
(18:21):
[♪♪]
>> WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
KEEPING TRACK OF THIS?
WHO IS THE PERSON THAT SAYS OKAY
I'M THE QUARTERBACK OR I'M GOING
TO WATCH AND SEE WHAT EVERYBODY
IS TAKING?
>> I LIKE TO SAY THAT THE
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN FOR OUR
PATIENTS IS THE MAIN PERSON WHO
SHOULD BE THE CAPTAIN OF THE
SHIP SO TO SPEAK.
WE ALWAYS WANT THAT CAPTAIN TO
BE WORKING WITH THE PATIENT.
(18:42):
THE PATIENT SHOULD BE THEIR OWN
ADVOCATE, TOO AND THEY ARE THE
BEST PARTNER WITH THE PCP IN
THIS PROCESS.
THAT PERSON NEEDS TO KEEP TRACK
OF THAT MEDICATION LIST AND TAKE
IT BETWEEN THE SPECIALISTS BACK
TO THE PCP IF THEY GO TO THE
HOSPITAL TO THE NURSING HOME
THEY HAVE TO HOLD ON TO AND OWN
THAT MEDICATION LIST.
BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO MULTIPLE
(19:03):
SPECIALISTS WHICH IS WHAT WE SEE
COMMONLY AS PEOPLE ARE AGING
DEVELOPING MORE CHRONIC
CONDITIONS THEN THAT PRIMARY
CARE PROVIDER HAS TO BE THE ONE
THAT REALLY COORDINATES AND
LOOKS OVERALL OF THAT AND REALLY
REVIEWS IT TO HAVE THAT ONE
CENTRAL REVIEW OF THE
MEDICATIONS.
AND WE WORK WITH OUR INNER
(19:24):
DISCIPLINARY TEAM TO HELP.
>> IF YOU WOULD PUT ON YOUR
ANESTHESIA HAT IN ADDITION TO
YOUR WELLNESS HAT, HOW DO YOU
SEE THE COMMUNICATION THAT GOES
ON WHEN PATIENTS HAVE MULTIPLE
DRUGS AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT
WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO FOR
SOMEBODY?
>> WAYNE, IT'S YOU KNOW, I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT HOW WE
GOT TO THIS POSITION WHERE WE
(19:46):
HAVE POLYPHARMACY AS A CONCERN.
HEALTHCARE HAS LONG BEEN FOCUSED
AN ACUTE ILLNESSES.
IF WE GO BACK 60-100 YEARS WHAT
KILLED PEOPLE IT WAS NOT HEART
DISEASE IT WAS INFECTIONS OR
INJURIES.
WE'VE GOTTEN REALLY GOOD AT
TREATING THOSE ACUTE PROBLEMS.
NOW WE'RE DEALING WITH A
SITUATION WHERE MOST PEOPLE ARE
(20:08):
LIVING LONGER, AND OVERCOMING
THE ACUTE PROBLEMS AND THE
PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE FACING IS
CAUSING MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY
OR SHORTENING OF THEIR LIFE
PREMATURELY OR LOWER QUALITY OF
LIFE, ARE CHRONIC CONDITIONS.
SO IT'S EASY TO GET INTO THIS
ROUTINE WHERE WE'RE JUST CHASING
OUR TAILS TRYING TO TREAT
(20:28):
PROBLEMS, CURE PROBLEMS.
WHICH IS MORE OF THAT SHORT-TERM
OR ACUTE PROBLEM, MINDSET.
AND RATHER THAN LOOKING AT
PREVENTATIVE APPROACHES THAT
PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM DEVELOPING
INTO CHRONIC CONDITIONS, I THINK
THE BIG THING THAT I FOCUS ON IS
JUST THAT HOW DO WE PRESERVE
LONGEVITY AND HOW DO WE PRESERVE
(20:49):
QUALITY OF LIFE SO THAT WE'RE
NOT HAVING TO INTRODUCE
POLYPHARMACY.
BECAUSE AS THE REST OF THE PANEL
WILL AGREE, IT'S CHALLENGING TO
MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS WHEN
WE'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH A
POLYPHARMACY SITUATION.
>> ANGELA, WE HAVE THE
MEDICATIONS THAT ARE BEING
(21:10):
PRESCRIBED.
BUT IF ANYBODY GOES INTO ANY
PHARMACY, YOU KNOW THERE IS THIS
PLETHORA OF STUFF THAT IS OUT
THERE.
>> YES.
>> AND WHO IS KEEPING TRACK OF
THAT?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE IMPACT CAN
THAT HAVE.
>> THAT IS SO INTERESTING YOU
WOULD SAY, BECAUSE I ALWAYS SAY
IF EVERYBODY'S IN CHARGE THEN
NOBODY'S IN CHARGE.
AND I THINK WE CAN HELP OUR
(21:32):
PHYSICIANS SO MUCH FROM A
PHARMACY PERSPECTIVE IN
GATHERING THAT INFORMATION AND
ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN GET THAT
ALL IN ONE PLACE IF A PATIENT AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE USED THE SAME
PHARMACY AND THAT RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR PHARMACIST WHERE YOU
ARE TELLING THEM ABOUT THE HER
BALANCE SUPPLEMENTS YOU ARE
TAKING SO THAT WE CAN TAKE ALL
(21:53):
THAT INTO ACCOUNT AND DO A
MEDICATION RECONCILIATION.
AND NOT JUST WHEN YOU ENTER THE
HOSPITAL WE HAVE PHARMACY STAFF
WAS MENTIONED THAT IT IS AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH WHERE
WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU ARE
TAKING AND PEOPLE GET THAT MIXED
UP.
THEY ARE TOLD TO DISCONTINUE
SOMETHING AND START ANOTHER
MEDICATION BUT THEY END UP WITH
(22:15):
BOTH.
THEY MAYBE TAKING DUPLICATE
THERAPY WHERE THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT NAMES WE'VE SEEN
PEOPLE COME INTO THE HOSPITAL
AND BE ON BOTH OF THOSE THEY ARE
THE SAME GENERIC NAME BUT THE
PATIENT MISUNDERSTOOD AND ENDED
UP ON BOTH OF THEM SLOWED THEIR
HEART RATE.
THAT IS WHAT BROUGHT THEM TO THE
HOSPITAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WE SEE THAT.
(22:36):
WE SEE DUPLICATES OF THERAPY AND
DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS AND THAT
CAN BE BROUGHT IN WITH THAT
PLEADING WITH FOLKS TO TELL ALL
YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ABOUT
ALL THE MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING
AND CONSIDER OVER-THE-COUNTER
MEDICINES AND HERBALS AS
MEDICINES.
BECAUSE IT'S HERBAL FROM A
(22:58):
NATURAL SOURCE DOESN'T MEAN IT
CAN'T HURT YOU, THEY CAN
INTERACT WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDS
THEY CAN RED HERRING WHERE
SOMETHING IS A SIDE EFFECT OF A
MEDICINE BUT IT WAS NOT SEEN AS
SUCH.
SO WE ALL HAVE TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT,
INCLUDING THE PATIENT.
A LOT OF GREAT
INFORMATION IN THAT PROGRAM THAT

YOU CAN SEE SENIORS AND
MEDICATION NEXT CHAPTER FORUM

ADDITION TO DEATHS IN FRANKLIN,
TRIGG, CARROLL, BULLITT,
MCCRACKEN AND NELSON COUNTIES.
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS HAS BEGUN
SENDING OUT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
TEAMS THROUGH FLOOD-AFFECTED
AREAS THROUGHOUT THE
COMMONWEALTH.
THE VOLUNTEERS TRAVEL FROM HOME
TO HOME TO SEE WHO WAS AFFECTED
(01:41):
BY THE FLOODS AND JUST HOW THE
WATER AND DEBRIS IMPACTED THEIR
HOMES.
>> WE HAVE ABOUT JUST UNDER A
DOZEN VOLUNTEERS GOING OUT TODAY
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
THE FOCUS IS ON THE FRANKLIN
COUNTY AREA TODAY.
THEY WILL GO OUT AND BASICALLY
TRAVEL THAT AREA, OBSERVE THE
(02:03):
RESIDENCES AND SOME OF THE
DAMAGE AND GET AN IDEA WHAT
DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THESE
WEATHER IMPACTS.
>> THIS ONE IS MORE DRASTIC, I
THINK BECAUSE IT IS A PROLONGED
FLOOD.
>> WENT TO BED SATURDAY NATURE
AND GOT UP SUNDAY MORNING, AND
LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND I
THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE
PHYSICALLY ILL.
IT WAS PROBABLY FOUR, FIVE FEET
(02:26):
AWAY FROM THE CRAWL SPACE.
WE MADE THE DECISION TO GO AHEAD
AND MOVE OUR FURNITURE THAT WE
COULD UP TO A HIGHER LEVEL ON
TABLES AND WHATNOT.
I CUT THE POWER.
SHORTLY BEFORE I GOT IN THE
CRAWL SPACE BECAUSE WE HAVE
ELECTRICAL LINES IN THE CRAWL
SPACE.
THE FIRST NIGHT IT WASN'T TOO
BAD.
I THINK IT GOT DOWN TO 55°,
(02:49):
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT, MONDAY NIGHT, IT GOT INTO
THE 30s.
AND WHEN WE WOKE UP TUESDAY
MORNING, WITH NO POWER IT WAS
52° IN THE HOUSE AND WE MADE
QUICK WORK OF GETTING OUT AND
GOING SOMEWHERE.
>> THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT ENABLES
THE RED CROSS TO KNOW WHERE TO
SEND OUR RESOURCES THE.
(03:11):
YOU KNOCK, LIKE OUR DES, THE
DISTRIBUTION OF EMERGENCY
SUPPLIES.
IT GIVES THEM AN AREA WHERE THE
POCKETS THE DAMAGE IS AT.
AND IT HELPS THEM GET THEIR
RESOURCES QUICKER.
WHAT WE'LL DO IS GET INTO THESE
AREAS AND TRY TO DO THIS
ASSESSMENT ON HOMES FLOODED BY
THE FLOOD.
(03:32):
WE GOT DIFFERENT CRITERIAS WE
USE TO PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE
THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE FAMILIES.
ALL OF OUR WORK IS DONE ON
OUTSIDE.
WE LOOK FOR WATERLINES.
AND THEN WE GOT FEMA CHART WE GO
BY TO DETERMINE THE
(03:52):
CLASSIFICATIONS.
>> AFTER WE'LL WORK WITH THESE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
IDENTIFY THEIR NEEDS AND DO OUR
BEST TO SUPPORT THEM AS THEY
WORK ON THEIR ROAD TO RECOVERY.
AND THAT CAN DIFFER DEPENDING ON
THE PERSON, DEPENDING ON THE
COMMUNITY.
>> PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUS TO GET
BACK INTO THEIR HOMES TO SEE
(04:13):
WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET ON
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
>> TUESDAY MORNING AROUND 11:00
A.M. WE MADE THE DECISION AFTER
THE WATER RECEDED TO TURN THE
ELECTRICITY BACK ON.
AND TO OUR AMAZEMENT EVERYTHING
CAME BACK ON WITHOUT A HITCH.
NO BREAKERS TRIPPED NOTHING LIKE
THAT.
IN THE BEGINNING WE WERE SO
(04:33):
THANKFUL TO BE DRY AND THE WATER
DID NOT DAMAGE INTERIOR PORTIONS
OF THE HOUSE AND WE HAD HEAT
AGAIN.
>> IT'S WIDESPREAD NOT ONLY DO
YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE
RIVER AND THE KENTUCKY RIVER YOU
HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE STREAMS
GOING INTO THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
WIDESPREAD OPERATION IT'S
COVERING JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE
STATE.
(04:53):
QUITE A FEW HOMES THAT WATER'S
SIX, SEVEN FEET INSIDE THE
HOMES.
AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF AREAS ARE
STILL INACCESSIBLE BECAUSE OF
THE HIGH WATERS ON THE ROADS.
THE DAMAGE IS OUT THERE WE HAVE
TO GO OUT AND FIND IF.
THE RED CROSS HAS
NEARLY 400 VOLUNTEERS ON THE
(05:14):
GROUND FOR FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS
IN THE STATE.
FOR LOUISVILLE, THIS WAS THE
EIGHTH WORST FLOOD IN THE CITY'S
HISTORY.
AND THE WORST SINCE 1997.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO MAYOR CRAIG
GREENBERG.
TODAY, HE SAID THE RIVER CRESTED
AT JUST UNDER 37 FEET.
AND HAS ALREADY GONE DOWN ABOUT
THREE FEET.
HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE CITY'S
(05:36):
RESPONSE AND THE BEGINNING OF
THE CLEAN UP EFFORT.
>> DURING THESE WEATHER EVENTS,
THE CITY LISTENED.
HEEDED THE WARNINGS.
OBEYED THE ROAD CLOSURES.
AND I'M THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE
THAT TO OUR KNOWLEDGE WE DO NOT
EXPERIENCE A SINGLE INJURY OR
DEATH AS A RESULT OF THIS
(05:56):
WEATHER EVENT OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SO NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS
BEHIND US, SO NOW THAT THE RIVER
HAS CRESTED THE HARD PART
BEGINS.
AND THAT'S THE CLEANUP.
TODAY, WE ARE ANNOUNCING A
CITYWIDE FLOOD DISASTER CLEAN UP
(06:17):
PLAN.
LAST NIGHT, I AUTHORIZED AND
TOMORROW BEGINS, THIS CLEAN UP
EFFORT.
STARTING SATURDAY MORNING, WE
WILL HAVE CREWS ALL ALONG THE
OHIO RIVER IN THE EAST AND THE
WEST AND THE SOUTHWEST, RIGHT
HERE DOWNTOWN.
THEY WILL BE CLEARING ROADWAYS
FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS.
(06:37):
REMOVING FLOOD DEBRIS, TRASH,
AND MUD FROM PARKS, SIDEWALKS,
PARKING LOTS AND OTHER PUBLIC
SPACES.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN EASY
PROCESS.
BUT OUR EXPECTATION IS THAT OUR
PARKS, ROADWAYS, AND OTHER
PUBLIC SPACES, INCLUDING WATER
FUN PARK ARE GOING TO BE
RESTORED IN THEIR ORIGINAL
(06:57):
CONDITION BRIGHT, SHINEY AND
CLEAN IN TIME FOR THE KENTUCKY
DERBY WHICH IS THREE WEEKS FROM
TOMORROW.
THE MAYOR SAID CLEAN
UP OF THE RIVERFRONT AREA WILL
COST AN ESTIMATED $5 MILLION.
HE SAYS FEMA WILL REIMBURSE
LOUISVILLE FOR 87% OF THAT COST.
AND MAYOR GREENBERG SAYS WE
(07:20):
SHOULD KNOW MORE NEXT WEEK ABOUT
FEDERAL HELP FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
AND HOMES.
NEW FLOODING WAS ON THE WAY BUT
THIS IS WAY MORE THAN THEY
EXPECTED.
THE WATER COVERED THE VISITORS'
PARKING LOT LAST NIGHT BUT THIS
MORNING THE WATER RECEDED.
PEOPLE FROM THE DISTILLERY
(07:40):
TALKED TODAY HOW THEY HANDLED
THE CRISIS.
>> AS MANY OF YOU KNOW IN OUR
200 PLUS YEAR HISTORY WE HAVE
LIVED THROUGH A FEW FLOODS THIS
PAST WEEK HAS BEEN THE LATEST
AND ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE WE'VE
SEEN.
FIRST, THE HEAD OF THE FLOOD WE
HAVE AN EXTENSIVE PLAN THAT
INCLUDES MOVING THE BARRELS ON
(08:00):
THE LOWER FLOORS TO THE UPPER
FLOORS ACROSS THE DILL IRY --
DISTILLERY.
THE DAMAGE IS BEING DETERMINED
BUT INCLUDES MANY BUILDINGS ON
CAMPUS, PRODUCTION, TO BOURBON
TO THE STILL HOUSE, THE GUEST
EXPERIENCE BUILDINGS SUCH AS THE
VISITORS CENTER.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE FLOODWATER
(08:21):
HAS COMPLETELY RECEDED OUT OF
BUFFALO TRACE GRANTING US ACCESS
TO THE ENTIRE CAMPUS WHICH
ALLOWS US TO IMPLEMENT OUR
NORMAL FLOOD RECOVERY PLANS.
WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF TRADE
EXPERTS, PROFESSIONALS ON-SITE
AT THE DISTILLERY SUPPORTING OUR
CLEAN UP, RESTORATION AND
INFRASTRUCTURE REMEDIATION.
OUR DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND MAIN
(08:43):
BOTTLING OPERATION DID NOT TAKE
ON FLOODWATERS.
AND THUS DISTRIBUTION BEGAN
TODAY.
WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED OUT THIS
MORNING.
FIRST LOAD.
THE DISTILLERY TEAM IS WORKING
TOWARD RESUMING BOTTLING
OPERATIONS AS EARLY AS NEXT
WEEK.
TEAMS ARE WORKING DILL GENERALLY
TO RESTORE POWER AND NETWORK
(09:04):
ISSUES AT OUR DISTILLERY.
THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE TEAM IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO WELCOMING
GUESTS SOON IN A MODIFIED
CAPACITY.
AS OF NOW, THE DISTILLERY WILL
BE CLOSED TO VISITORS THROUGH
SUNDAY APRIL 13TH.
IN THE MEANTIME, TEAMS ARE
WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REOPEN THE
VISITORS CENTER IN A MODIFIED
CAPACITY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
(09:24):
AS WE BRING BUILDINGS AND
EQUIPMENT BACK INTO OUR SERVICE
OUR TEAMS ARE ENSURING THERE IS
NO COMPROMISE TO OUR QUALITY.
INSPECTION OF BARRELS BEGAN
YESTERDAY AND WILL BE ONGOING
UNTIL ANY AFFECTED BARRELS HAVE
BEEN APPROPRIATELY ASSESSED AND
THIS IS A VERY INVOLVED PROCESS
INCLUDING BOTH BARREL INSPECTION
(09:44):
AS WELL AS A RIGOROUS QUALITY
TESTING THAT WE DO WITH ALL OF
OUR PRODUCTS PRODUCED AT BUFFALO
TRACE.
INSPECTION IS EXPECTED TO TAKE
SEVERAL WEEKS.
HOWEVER, WE DO NOT EXPECT TO
EXPERIENCE MEANINGFUL LOSS OF
OUR INVENTORY.
NEXT WEEK, THE
DISTILLERY IS PLANNING TO OPEN
FOR VISITORS WHOSE APPOINTMENTS
(10:06):
WERE CANCELED DUE TO THE
FLOODINGS.
YOU CAN FIND MORE UPDATES WHEN
THEY WILL BE FULLY OPEN AND BACK
TO NORMAL OPERATIONS ON THEIR
SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.
>>> RISING FLOODWATERS ARE
CUTTING OFF ACCESS TO ANOTHER
KENTUCKY COMMUNITY THIS TIME
IT'S STANLEY AND DAVIESS COUNTY
IN WESTERN KENTUCKY.
THE OHIO RIVER IS EXPECTED TO
CREST SATURDAY FLOODING U.S. 60
(10:28):
NEAR THE TOWN.
CREWS WITH THE KENTUCKY
TRANSPORTATION CABINET SPENT
THURSDAY REPAVING A SECTION OF
ROADWAY TO MAKE IT HIGHER SO
THERE AND WOULD BE LESS WATER ON
THE ROAD.
IT WANTED TO KEEP THE ROADWAY
OPEN FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO
GIVE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE
COMMUNITY TIME TO GET OUT.
GOODING IS COMMON IN THE AREA.
ONE EMERGENCY OFFICIAL DESCRIBED
(10:49):
WHY THIS FLOOD EVENT IS EXPECTED
TO BE DIFFERENT.
>> THIS IS A 1 100-YEAR FLOOD
FOR THE SAME AREA.
THERE WILL BE WATER INSIDE
HOUSES INSIDE DURING THIS EVENT
BUT THE LAST EVENT IN FEBRUARY,
RIGHT, THAT WAS NOT AN UNUSUAL
FLOOD FOR THIS AREA.
EVERYBODY WAS PREPARED FOR IT.
(11:10):
WE DIDN'T GET A RECORD OF ANY
HOUSES THAT WILL A LOT OF WATER
INSIDE OF THEM.
BASEMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT,
BUT NOTHING REPORTABLE
NECESSARILY.
THESE EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT.
WE WILL SEE THE HIGHEST WATER
MOST OF THE HOMES IN THIS
COMMUNITY HAVE SEEN.
FOR OVER THE NEXT SATURDAY WILL
(11:31):
BE A GOOD TELL ON THAT.
PORTIONS OF U.S. 60
AND DAVIESS COUNTY AND HENDERSON
AND HANCOCK COUNTIES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE BLOCKED FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.
>>> NOW WE'LL TALK ABOUT
KENTUCKY'S RESPONSE TO THE FLOOD
AND THE RECOVERY EFFORTS MONDAY
NIGHT ON A SPECIAL EDITION OF
"KENTUCKY TONIGHT".
YOU WILL HEAR FROM ELECTED
(11:53):
OFFICIALS, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
FOLKS AND THE AMERICAN RED
CROSS.
THAT PROGRAM IS MONDAY NIGHT AT
8:00 P.M. 7:00 P.M. CENTRAL HERE
ON KET AND WE INVITE YOUR
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.
>>> OH, DEAR.
WILDLIFE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE
RISING WATERS ARE MOVING INTO
MORE URBAN AREAS.
A DEER ENDED UP INSIDE THE
(12:14):
CHESTNUT STREET FAMILY YMCA
TUESDAY MORNING.
AND THERE'S VIDEO.
AS A PLOIFER POLICE OFFICER
GUIDED THE DEER OUTSIDE.
>> SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS HI,
GIRL.
IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.
(12:38):
YOU HAVE TO TRESPASS OFF THE
PROPERTY, OKAY?
I HAVE A DEER OUT OF THE
(13:00):
PROPERTY.
I THINK THE DEER FOUND
A NEW HOME.
PRETTY COOPERATIVE THERE SHE
WAS.
NO ONE WAS HURT IN ALL OF THIS.
PEOPLE OR THE DEER.
[♪♪]
>>> IN OTHER NEWS, AN
11-YEAR-OLD LOUISVILLE BOY IS
(13:20):
THE FIRST PERSON IN THE U.S. TO
RECEIVE A NEW TYPE OF COCHLEAR
IMPLANT.
THE IMPLANTED WAS PERFORMED AT
U.K. HEALTHCARE AFTER USING
HEARING AIDS FOR YEARS, HE
ADMITS THE NEW DEVICE IS TAKING
SOME GETTING USED TO BUT IT'S
OPENING HIM UP TO A WORLD OF NEW
OPPORTUNITIES.
DETAILS IN TONIGHT'S LOOK AT
MEDICAL NEWS.
(13:43):
>> HEARING LOSS CAN BE REALLY
CHALLENGING TO DEAL WITH.
THERE IS A QUOTE THAT SAYS
BLINDNESS SEPARATES US FROM
THINGS.
AND DEAFNESS SEPARATES US FROM
PEOPLE.
I DO THINK THERE IS AN ASPECT OF
HEARING AND VERBAL COMMUNICATION
THAT IS UNIQUELY HUMAN OR
UNIQUELY CONNECTS US TO PEOPLE.
BEING ABLE TO CONNECT TO
(14:05):
SOMEBODY ELSE'S VOICE,
ESPECIALLY THE VOICES OF LOVED
ONES OR FRIENDS THAT CAN BE
REALLY CHALLENGING TO DEAL WITH.
>> IT AFFECTED ME PLAYING
BASEBALL.
BUT I WOULD ALWAYS LOOK AT MY
DAD, AND BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE
TO HEAR MY COACH.
AND MY OTHER TEAMMATES SO I
WOULD COUNT ON MY DAD TO HELP ME
(14:26):
OUT.
>> THERE'S DATA SHOWING
SIGNIFICANT SCHOOL STRUGGLES
EVEN WHEN APPROPRIATE
ACCOMMODATIONS ARE BEING MADE.
IT CAN BE A REALLY BIG CHALLENGE
NOT ONLY FOR THE CHILD OR THE
ADULT, BUT ALSO FOR THE FAMILY.
>> IN FOURTH GRADE I WOULD LOOK
AT MY FOURTH GRADE TEACHER
WHENEVER SHE ASKED ME A
(14:47):
QUESTION.
I WAS LIKE I COULDN'T BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND HER.
SO FOURTH GRADE TEACHER TOLD MY
PARENTS ABOUT IT, AT FIRST THEY
WAS MAD ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
BUT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT
BECAUSE I DIDN'T TELL THEM.
I DIDN'T NOTICE IT EITHER.
>> WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF
(15:08):
PARENT GUILT A LOT OF WHAT DID I
DO WRONG?
OR WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE
BETTER?
OR HOW DID I NOT KNOW?
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, AFTER YOU GO
THROUGH THAT GRIEVING OF THE
HEARING LOSS OR MY SON IS NOT
WHAT I THOUGHT MAYBE, HE WOULD
BE, THEN REALITY SETS IN AND
(15:30):
WHILE I HAVE TO PREPARE HIM FOR
LIFE AND I STILL HAVE TO BE
PREPARE HIM TO BE A BLACK BOY IN
A WORLD THAT IS NOT ABOUT THE
FOR HIM AND NOW HEARING LOSS IN
A WORLD THAT IS NOT BUILT FOR
HIM.
>> A IMPLANTED IS I AM PLANTED
INTO THE INNER EAR, TO BYPASS
(15:51):
THE EAR THAT DOESN'T WORK
PROPERLY TO CONVEY A SENSE OF
SOUND TO THE BRAIN.
IT HAS A MICROPHONE WHERE IT
RECEIVES SOUND WAVES FROM THE
EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT.
AND IT CHANGES THOSE THROUGH
SOME MECHANISMS INTO ELECTRICAL
SIGNALS THAT THEN ARE SENT INTO
(16:16):
THE COCHLEA AND IT WILL
STIMULATE THE HEARING NERVE AND
THE HEARING NERVE TAKES THE
ELECTRICAL IMPULSES, SENDS THEM
TO THE BRAIN AND THE BRAIN
LEARNS TO INTERPRET THOSE
SIGNALS AS SOUND.
WHEN PEOPLE FIRST GET A COCHLEAR
(16:36):
IMPLANT TURNED ON IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS SOUND NATURAL.
DOESN'T ALWAYS SOUND NORMAL.
WHAT HAPPENS OVER TIME IS THAT
YOUR BRAIN, LEARNS TO UTILIZE
THOSE SIGNALS AND IT WILL
INTERPRET THOSE AS SPEECH
OVERTIME.
>> HE IS NOW STARTING TO SAY
THAT THINGS DON'T SOUND AS FUNNY
WITH THE IMPLANT AND WE'RE
(16:56):
STARTING TO GO WITHOUT THE
HEARING AID IN THE LEFT EAR WHEN
WE ARE NOT AT SCHOOL SO HE CAN
GET USED TO SOLELY DEPENDING ON
THE IMPLANTED.
>> HAVING THE IMPLANT IS BETTER
BECAUSE I CAN HEAR MY TEACHER,
MY CLASSMATES AND SCHOOL.
WHEN I GOT IT ACTIVATED AND I
(17:16):
GOT IT TURNED ON, I WAS LIKE I
NEVER SMILED THIS MUCH.
BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO
HEAR EVEN BETTER THAN WITHOUT
THE HEARING AIDS.
>> I THINK HE IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO BE AN EXAMPLE JUST BY
LIVING AND EXCELLING.
(17:37):
HE LIGHTS UP A ROOM PEOPLE LOVE
DJ.
TEACHING HIM IT'S OKAY TO BE YOU
AND TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT,
THAT'S MY JOB.
DJ IS BROADENING HIS
HORIZONS AND WILL BE PURSUING
MEDIA ARTS AND MUSIC FOR THE
ARTS IN LOUISVILLE THE NEXT
SCHOOL YEAR.
OUR BEST TO HIM.
(18:00):
>>> MANY KENTUCKIANS ARE TAKING
MULTIPLE PRESCRIPTION SON DRUGS
AT ONE.
WE EXPLORED THOSE CHALLENGES
DURING OUR SPECIAL PROGRAM
SENIORS AND MEDICATION OUR NEXT
CHAPTER FORUM THAT AIRED MONDAY
ON KET.
AMONG THE 0 TOPICS KEEPING TABS
ON ALL YOUR MEDICINE.
(18:21):
[♪♪]
>> WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
KEEPING TRACK OF THIS?
WHO IS THE PERSON THAT SAYS OKAY
I'M THE QUARTERBACK OR I'M GOING
TO WATCH AND SEE WHAT EVERYBODY
IS TAKING?
>> I LIKE TO SAY THAT THE
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN FOR OUR
PATIENTS IS THE MAIN PERSON WHO
SHOULD BE THE CAPTAIN OF THE
SHIP SO TO SPEAK.
WE ALWAYS WANT THAT CAPTAIN TO
BE WORKING WITH THE PATIENT.
(18:42):
THE PATIENT SHOULD BE THEIR OWN
ADVOCATE, TOO AND THEY ARE THE
BEST PARTNER WITH THE PCP IN
THIS PROCESS.
THAT PERSON NEEDS TO KEEP TRACK
OF THAT MEDICATION LIST AND TAKE
IT BETWEEN THE SPECIALISTS BACK
TO THE PCP IF THEY GO TO THE
HOSPITAL TO THE NURSING HOME
THEY HAVE TO HOLD ON TO AND OWN
THAT MEDICATION LIST.
BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO MULTIPLE
(19:03):
SPECIALISTS WHICH IS WHAT WE SEE
COMMONLY AS PEOPLE ARE AGING
DEVELOPING MORE CHRONIC
CONDITIONS THEN THAT PRIMARY
CARE PROVIDER HAS TO BE THE ONE
THAT REALLY COORDINATES AND
LOOKS OVERALL OF THAT AND REALLY
REVIEWS IT TO HAVE THAT ONE
CENTRAL REVIEW OF THE
MEDICATIONS.
AND WE WORK WITH OUR INNER
(19:24):
DISCIPLINARY TEAM TO HELP.
>> IF YOU WOULD PUT ON YOUR
ANESTHESIA HAT IN ADDITION TO
YOUR WELLNESS HAT, HOW DO YOU
SEE THE COMMUNICATION THAT GOES
ON WHEN PATIENTS HAVE MULTIPLE
DRUGS AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT
WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO FOR
SOMEBODY?
>> WAYNE, IT'S YOU KNOW, I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT HOW WE
GOT TO THIS POSITION WHERE WE
(19:46):
HAVE POLYPHARMACY AS A CONCERN.
HEALTHCARE HAS LONG BEEN FOCUSED
AN ACUTE ILLNESSES.
IF WE GO BACK 60-100 YEARS WHAT
KILLED PEOPLE IT WAS NOT HEART
DISEASE IT WAS INFECTIONS OR
INJURIES.
WE'VE GOTTEN REALLY GOOD AT
TREATING THOSE ACUTE PROBLEMS.
NOW WE'RE DEALING WITH A
SITUATION WHERE MOST PEOPLE ARE
(20:08):
LIVING LONGER, AND OVERCOMING
THE ACUTE PROBLEMS AND THE
PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE FACING IS
CAUSING MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY
OR SHORTENING OF THEIR LIFE
PREMATURELY OR LOWER QUALITY OF
LIFE, ARE CHRONIC CONDITIONS.
SO IT'S EASY TO GET INTO THIS
ROUTINE WHERE WE'RE JUST CHASING
OUR TAILS TRYING TO TREAT
(20:28):
PROBLEMS, CURE PROBLEMS.
WHICH IS MORE OF THAT SHORT-TERM
OR ACUTE PROBLEM, MINDSET.
AND RATHER THAN LOOKING AT
PREVENTATIVE APPROACHES THAT
PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM DEVELOPING
INTO CHRONIC CONDITIONS, I THINK
THE BIG THING THAT I FOCUS ON IS
JUST THAT HOW DO WE PRESERVE
LONGEVITY AND HOW DO WE PRESERVE
(20:49):
QUALITY OF LIFE SO THAT WE'RE
NOT HAVING TO INTRODUCE
POLYPHARMACY.
BECAUSE AS THE REST OF THE PANEL
WILL AGREE, IT'S CHALLENGING TO
MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS WHEN
WE'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH A
POLYPHARMACY SITUATION.
>> ANGELA, WE HAVE THE
MEDICATIONS THAT ARE BEING
(21:10):
PRESCRIBED.
BUT IF ANYBODY GOES INTO ANY
PHARMACY, YOU KNOW THERE IS THIS
PLETHORA OF STUFF THAT IS OUT
THERE.
>> YES.
>> AND WHO IS KEEPING TRACK OF
THAT?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE IMPACT CAN
THAT HAVE.
>> THAT IS SO INTERESTING YOU
WOULD SAY, BECAUSE I ALWAYS SAY
IF EVERYBODY'S IN CHARGE THEN
NOBODY'S IN CHARGE.
AND I THINK WE CAN HELP OUR
(21:32):
PHYSICIANS SO MUCH FROM A
PHARMACY PERSPECTIVE IN
GATHERING THAT INFORMATION AND
ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN GET THAT
ALL IN ONE PLACE IF A PATIENT AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE USED THE SAME
PHARMACY AND THAT RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR PHARMACIST WHERE YOU
ARE TELLING THEM ABOUT THE HER
BALANCE SUPPLEMENTS YOU ARE
TAKING SO THAT WE CAN TAKE ALL
(21:53):
THAT INTO ACCOUNT AND DO A
MEDICATION RECONCILIATION.
AND NOT JUST WHEN YOU ENTER THE
HOSPITAL WE HAVE PHARMACY STAFF
WAS MENTIONED THAT IT IS AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH WHERE
WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU ARE
TAKING AND PEOPLE GET THAT MIXED
UP.
THEY ARE TOLD TO DISCONTINUE
SOMETHING AND START ANOTHER
MEDICATION BUT THEY END UP WITH
(22:15):
BOTH.
THEY MAYBE TAKING DUPLICATE
THERAPY WHERE THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT NAMES WE'VE SEEN
PEOPLE COME INTO THE HOSPITAL
AND BE ON BOTH OF THOSE THEY ARE
THE SAME GENERIC NAME BUT THE
PATIENT MISUNDERSTOOD AND ENDED
UP ON BOTH OF THEM SLOWED THEIR
HEART RATE.
THAT IS WHAT BROUGHT THEM TO THE
HOSPITAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WE SEE THAT.
(22:36):
WE SEE DUPLICATES OF THERAPY AND
DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS AND THAT
CAN BE BROUGHT IN WITH THAT
PLEADING WITH FOLKS TO TELL ALL
YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ABOUT
ALL THE MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING
AND CONSIDER OVER-THE-COUNTER
MEDICINES AND HERBALS AS
MEDICINES.
BECAUSE IT'S HERBAL FROM A
(22:58):
NATURAL SOURCE DOESN'T MEAN IT
CAN'T HURT YOU, THEY CAN
INTERACT WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDS
THEY CAN RED HERRING WHERE
SOMETHING IS A SIDE EFFECT OF A
MEDICINE BUT IT WAS NOT SEEN AS
SUCH.
SO WE ALL HAVE TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT,
INCLUDING THE PATIENT.
A LOT OF GREAT
INFORMATION IN THAT PROGRAM THAT
