Rural Healthcare Nightmare #06

In this episode of DiabeticReal, host Deborah E shares the story of one (of many) events involving hospitals, this one while living in a rural town. Deborah recounts the challenge of not only having to deal with the medical issues but an unrelenting doctor who refused to listen to reason and had already been presumably involved in a questionable event involving a little boy just weeks prior to this. But, with hitting her head on the stove, it seemed best to allow the paramedics to take her to the hospital. Determination and resilience help her navigate this rural event in another eye-opening episode of DiabeticReal.
