ER is excellent, I also like all the “trauma room” documentaries.
Those medical teams that you have in the US are truly a fantastic
lot.

Marius,
I am with you on the trauma room documentaries. I can’t get enough of them.

On E/R last night they had a child with Type II diabetes who was admitted
with a BG of over 900 mg/dl. I never realized that BGs could go that high
and the person still survive!

Iris,
I was freezing at a farm team baseball game instead of watching “ER” one of
my favorite shows. I wish I hadn’t missed that one.

The child in question had been to the E/R before - several months
previously. He arrived with “stomach flu” and the doc did a urinalysis
which showed the diabetes
Thanks for filling me in. I did see the other episode. I thought that
insurance companies weren’t allowed to claim “pre-existing” conditions
anymore. They really shouldn’t since business’s change their carriers almost
as much as we change underwear.

A gal on another list yesterday told of herself dx’d at 16 with 1112 BG, not
only walked upstairs to the pediatrics dept., but did so carrying a 2-y/o
piggy back!!
The medical personnel couldn’t believe she could even still stand up.

That’s what I *always* have to go through when Mr. Jan changes jobs. The
key is to get hired in the first place — then if they offer the employee
insurance and he/she refuses, it gets tricky to get insured. We’ve had to
*adjust* my expenses several times over the years to carry me through. Don’t
think it’d be possible now - with 11 diff Rx’s, the $170 each bi-weekly EPO
shots, etc., etc.

Christine,
I was told one time, don’t know if it still applies, but they can refuse
you insurance for up to one year, but after that have to give it to you at
their set rate.
Gail
Gail,
I suppose that is better than not giving you insurance at all but I still
think it is unfair.

Jan,
What exactly is this EPO shot?
