There was one this morning on CNN with this catchy title: “Mom Defies Doctor, Has Baby Her Way.” The article describes a story where a mother was going to have her fourth baby. Her previous three were born via C-section. Mom did not want another C-section done, and “defied” her doctor’s order for the procedure. “You’re being irresponsible,” the patient was told. The middle of the article talks about the current thinking and statement of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology saying that “it’s reasonable to consider allowing women who’ve had two C-sections to try to have a vaginal delivery.” Of course, there’s risks with proceeding...

This “train the trainers” approach “effectively transferred evidence-based addiction knowledge and practice to 64 chief residents in generalist disciplines and more importantly, enhanced the addiction curriculum in 47 reside...

I’ll admit that I’ve found a few of my doctors over the years less than pleasing. Some have been arrogant, some rude, and some just plain ignorant when it came to diabetes. I’m thankful that I have a doctor I really like, but if I didn’t, I wouldn’t hesitate to find one I did. I was thinking of all this because I read this article about a diabetic man who said he had “little admiration or faith” in his doctor. He was developing leg cramps and (rightly so) worried about his health. I think sometimes diabetics can feel very defeated by the medical system. At some point we become fru...
