Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 , So far as non compliance is concerned just look at how many people smoke despite the well documented fact that smoking is very bad for one's health... The vast majority of folks want what they want and they want it now. Consequences are for tomorrow, not today. Cy, the Ancient Okie... Re: Fw: Prayers for Wayne Kerstetter The doctors will not make a change in their prescribing behavior and follow-up care unless they start paying a high price for their incompetence and negligence, and only a lawyer can make them pay attention. Enough is known about diabetes today to practically prevent the onset of diabetic complications, and if lawyers knew this as well as you and I know this, then the patients with diabetic complications and lawyers in the future would extract a high dollar figure for the doctor's malpractice. Of course if the patient with diabetes is noncompliant, then the doctor cannot be blamed. I am sure patients will still have diabetic complications as long as the doctors do not get up-to-date on their medical journals and research. Ten or twenty years ago diabetic complications could be blamed on medical lack of knowledge and technology, but this is not the case today. Today it would be unconscionable for diabetics to develop diabetic complications with proper medical care and medical treatment. I, too, am astounded at the number of diabetics that I encounter who report to me that their A1C is around 7.0, and this is just fine with their treating physician. When I try to enlighten them regarding what a normal A1D is and what is required to achieve this, they look at me with puzzlement and disdain. They seem to think who do you think you are. I don't believe a word you are saying, after all my doctor is quite pleased with my present state and condition, and I am paying him for his advice. so it must be much better than the advice you give me. I wish I were a lawyer. I would gather cases of diabetic complications that have occurred since the year 2000, when the medical knowledge and medical technology has been available to prevent and in some cases even reverse or cure some diabetic complications. I believe with a few cases like in a class action suit or even with individual doctors, I could make a fortune and my clients would be better off, too. The insurance companies would insist that the doctors know how to treat a diabetic from then on, or they would not insure the physician. Every day I am thankful for the folks on this list serve for saving my leg from amputation and showing me how to achieve normal glucose levels. A special thanks goes to , Pat and K. Bernstein, M. D for showing me the way. I am absolutely serious here! I do not blame the diabetic who wishes to have guidance and help and no complications, even though they may have these complications. It is not hard to understand their befuzzlement when confronted with a character like me and their treating physician when presented with information that is seemingly contradictory to what their doctor is telling them. You want to know malpractice? How many diabetics are told that insulin works only on carbohydrates? How many are taught carb counting? How many diabetics are told what a non-diabetic A1C is? I am sure there are many other examples of medical mal practice than the few presented above, but it should wake some people up to just a smidgen of how rampant medical malpractice is. ..

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 You know Pat, you are right. I mostly blame the doctors for diabetic complications, but I do not discount the diabetic's role in the matter, nor do I discount my role in the matter as a taxpayer in America. There are some people who are hell bent on self destruction, and there is very little we can do about it except to make a racket to raise awareness regarding the seriousness of the problem. Diabetes is a matter of not only genetics, but clout and personal resources along with individual and societal responsibility. This issue is a highly personal one for me, since I have close relatives and close friends who are afflicted with this dread disease. Regardless of the competence or incompetence or for that matter the ignorance of the doctor, it is he/she who has the most clout in the care and treatment of the diabetic. A dumb, ignorant doctor who is trusted by his patients has far more influence on the decissions of the diabetic than you or I do. As long as the emphasis is on treatment of the problem along with restoration and rehabilitation, rather than prevention, the situation is going to get worse, not only for the diabetic, but for society in general. The cost for diabetes care is tremendous, and it does not look like it is going to get cheaper or less expensive any time soon. As long as an insurance company would rather pay several thousands of dollars for an amputation, hospital care and prostheses and rehab therapy rather than a much smaller amount for prevention and education, then it is just going to get worse. The knowledge and technology is there today to prevent practically all diabetic complications, but if it is ignored and abused it cannot help. To master glucose control takes six or more finger sticks per day with lancets, and a glucose monitor and those expensive test strips. If you use six test strips per day, one is talking about a cost of around$150 per month just for the cost of the test strips alone, and this does not take into account the cost of the oral medications or insulins used. Now we are talking about $250-$300 per month just to test the glucose level and medications needed to achieve diabetes control. Yes, it is expensive, but far less expensive than the alternative of diabetic complications. I haven't even mentioned the cost and effort of a diabetic learning how to count carbs, which we all know is a pesky problem. Yes, we, you and I, share in the situation as it is today, as well as to what it will be tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 emotional dysfunction if I had to be honest. My wife being a professional clinical counselor would be the first to say many eat because of some sort of emotional quark whatever it might be. Feelling restriction, death of a spouse, comfort, denial, and so on. An eating disorder, as my wife puts it, is not limited to bulimia and anorexia, it is also those who eat and cannot control it, are obese, and so on.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 First of all I wish to thank for his concantinations of the message thread. I agree with him that this series of communications would make an excellent chapter or presentation at a professional conference devoted to the care and treatment of the diabetic. Indeed, I think it would be well received by the press who are always looking for a sensational and controversial topic. Well, they need not look any further than right here for what follows. These are not the musings of idle gossip, but well thought out and considered responses of some people who really care about what is happening to one particular individual named Wayne and some of his cyberspace friends, whom cannot be legitimately called intelectual slouches. We are deeply concerned about what is happening to Wayne and the implications of his situation for thousands, possibly millions, with a similar condition. We all have something in common. We are blind and diabetic , and there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. The ravages of diabetic complications are well documented and the attempts by his peers to help him are, too, indicated. Wayne is in a struggle for life, and he steadfastly holds to the treatment and recommendations of his physician(s). We tried to show him a better way before he had his first leg amputated, and we tried even harder before he had his second leg amputated. Now he suffers with kidney failure, being on dialysis and he has bed sores. Make no mistake about it. These are all complications of diabetes, which can be mostly avoided with proper care and treatment by a knowledgeable doctor and a well informed patient. I wish to thank the following for their efforts: Daubenmire, a computer programmer Wolfe, a nurse educator Dean Masters for kicking off the topic and of course Wayne. Best wishes old friend. Harry Bates, a retired psychologist You guys let me know if some corrections need to be made to the above message. I plan to edit it and sub mit for publication, if possible.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 That is a grand idea, and I am quite willing. Professional journals and conferences have a high standard, whereas the news papers and magazines might be easier to do.
