Podcast Episode 73 – Doctor Etiquette / All Professionals Please Watch!!

July 07, 2013

Hi guys, this video is specifically directed towards doctors, nurses, and any other health care professional. I would like every single health professional that watch my videos to definitely watch this one. I am speaking in behalf of all diabetics (and or for any other chronic illness for that matter). This is a story about what happened to me on a two visit eye examination. I wasn't going to say anything on camera at first, but after much thought, I realized I really took offense to the experience that I had. Please note, this NOT a video attack against the facility I was in, nor the specific doctor that was taking care of me, but more on the wide spread sickening perceptions that health care professionals and people have about diabetics; and despite all the forever updated research information about diabetes, this attitude continues to grow more and more everyday. The doctor I was working with me scared the hell out of me for nothing. As a diabetic I work very hard to take care of myself, despite any person's individual perception of what they think I do in my personal life. People who consistently make snappy judgments against someone they damn well know, they don't know, I think are in some way neurotic; escaping their own challenges and issues. It is very important that you be aware of the energy you give off to people with diabetes, if not YOU become part of the big problem we have with public health. Please watch the video and show it to every other professional you know, and or make them watch it. You need to know how you make your patients feel.
