So finally after - what - a month or more - yes dad does have Diabetes. Well I could have told you that. Sometimes we get the best and the worst of our National Health Service all in a short space of time. It's a good thing that we take responsibility for pushing this but really it should be "bleeding obvious" to health professionals and some how there is a huge chasm (black hole more like) between the Hospital and the local GP.
I guess that they tend to be reactive only in the GPs - yet if you'd have had the letters from the Hospital you'd have picked up the seriousness of his condition surely?
Oh well - at least we now have him under control, diagnosed and now it is just monitoring and controlling things and feeding him properly. At least my brother, sister-in-law and their kids can assist as both the kids have Diabetes and know the ins and outs of it all.
I ought to balance all this out by saying that in my case the greater part of the treatment, speed and people I've me has been positive with the occasional blip at the local level. Also the treatment and operation that was provided to my dad has probably meant that he is still with us today. I doubt he would have been if they hadn't done it.
