Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Like I said, Rita. They try to kill you there! those are really good questions to ask. Re: Wayne Pat, I am sure it is not just medication for diabetes that gets mixed up. I would always ask two questions. What is the name of this medicine and who is it for? Same thing when they come to get you for a test. What test is this and who is it for. My mom once got an e. e. g. which was for her roommate. Gee.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 , From what I have observed it is not necessarily the doc's fault. Somehow the folks who dispense the meds may need a little more motivation to pay strict attention to what they are doing. Some of this happens when someone is required to work a 24 hour shift and some of it happens when you have a $5.15 per hour person doing the job of a $25 per hour person. In the case of dieticians, there surly must not be any test or examinations to determine the qualifications of an applicant. The problems we had with Susie and Barbara were clearly the fault of the dietician not understanding the requirements and knowing what foods contain which vitamins and minerals. Cy, the Ancient but disgusted Okie... Re: Wayne lol lol... pat, the hospital is trying to kill you! *laugh*... I couldn't agree more! That is why it is good to shop around for a doc that is that team player that knows what you need and so on. Regards, Wayne I just spoke with Wayne. He seems to have his blood sugars in control again. I told him and he agreed, that he would ask whoever gave him the drink, to read the amount of carbs in it. When I go into the hospital, I go into defense mode. I think my BG level is always higher when in the hospital because I am sure they are trying to kill me! I ask questions with every pill or drink or every IV they start. It is usually not eh doctors fault when an error occurs like that, but he fault of whoever is giving you the drink. You just have to b really alert and ask questions. I was glad to hear he was feeling so much better. However, they are moving his fistula for the dialysis, so will have to have another surgery to do that and he said they might move him to another room. It looks like he will stay there a while.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 It would be an interesting experiment to have white coated medical personel see patients and then check their glucose levels to see if these white-coated staff really do cause a significant rise in one's glucose level. I think not. However I would like to apply for a fedeeral grant of say ten million dollars to see if it is or is not true. Wayne > > >> >> I just spoke with Wayne.
