Insulin, except in very rare occassions, Some might be short- sighted and throw you on Insulin right away , but never judge, if you’ve ever trained at a place like Jackson Memorial Hospital, because sometimes, in such places where the Patient and Dr. : face an abundance of BARRIERS TO PROPER CARE OR ACCESS TO IT; then you must do your best!
But, NEVER those barriers are : low income , or psychologically ineptitude, or worse….
However, in places where that Physician has vast access to the most appropriate meds, and more; there is no excuse…..I call it “ messy medicine”, why? Because the Dr. should know better. Again love is for free, but respect must be earned.. The last thing a patient needs is another barrier to overcome! So, let’s all start tearing down these walls, and embrace in our communities by building bridges.
With respect, love and kindness,

Alcoholism, is a proven genetic chronic disease process.
In truth, it depends on each patient individually.
Simply stated, you empower the patient, a Physician should work to earn the patient’s trust….perhaps they will honor you with that…. But never expect it.
My Descriptionis too limited in scope, as I got my professorship, at least at UCLA, while there, in “ Harm Reduction”. Until one can see pentoptically and has experienced this for at least 20 years (back when residents had a 100 hour work week, not 60 or less); can one even grasp what I am saying. Furthermore, one must have been exposed to various cultures globally, they should probably not even attempt this by themselves. Why?
Because, those that have truly endured are Fierce! Never Fearful, so they tend to be highly motivated. There is a difference between “ want” and “need”…..: But to all Docs out there in our communities through out the world, never assume one is broken, help lift them up and empower them… We all have only today, and may pray for tomorrow….; tomorrow must be put in the past, but do your best to learn from it….As some things are given that should not be taken… I sincerely feel as if I can make the difference in at least one life before my time is up, then Ive fulfilled my oath…. Humbly but NEVER Weak.
I speak from a place of calling, experience, whom has been ill ; not perhaps, like others. But, we all have more in common than we do different. Until, you are able to look through your patient’s eyes from a pentoptic point of view…… This perhaps might be difficult to understand, but it is not. I was so afraid to face my fears, but, once I did , it made me stronger, not a victim, but a survivor. I put my patients trust very seriously, and to do that, you must create a “safe space for them”….. I do love you all! I wish I had the time to help all, but only our “ higher power has that ability”……So, to Everyone, never give up hope!
Hope can be found in the places one leasts expects.
