I saw my family doctor today. I thought she was going to cry when she saw me. She saw that I was in the hospital for chest pain. When I was still listed as in the hospital after three days, she was worried about me. She agrees with all the other doctors. If I'd have had a physical with checks of cholesterol and everything, they still wouldn't have seen this coming. It was purely an inherited condition that caused this, and nothing could have been done to prevent it.
We had a nice talk about my problem getting the blood sugar medicine. The doctor in the hospital wanted me on the extended release version, but it's expensive, and my insurance won't pay. She wrote a prescription for the less expensive version. I told her I was concerned about side effects. She assured me that side effects mostly affect people who eat high fat diets which I do not. I also have the option of taking half dose to see if it works. The prescription she wrote is the lowest dose you can get.
I swear I have the best doctor.
