I was in the hospital this January.My Illness was critical at times.I have alergic astma.I had bronkitus that made the astma life threatening.5 minutes after being admitted,the doctor assigned to me told me I had Diabeties.I don't have diadeties,and that wasn't even what was there for.This doctor saw that on my chart my blood sugar was high.He must have read no ferther.If he had he would have found that in the emergancy room I was gived massive amounts of steroids for the astma.That was what caused my surag to be high.He took one look at me,decided It was due to my weight,and started giving me insolin.
My regular doc.saw me when I was realeaed,had me tested and found no basis for the other doctors actions.
Who knows if I was hurt by the insolin injections.The good news is that I turned him in to the state malpratice board,and they are investigating him.
The moral?DO NOT let a health professional EVER treat you on your size alone.That is malpratice.
