@doctor.t58: As doctors we too often forget the privilege and responsibility that we have to care for others. My schedule was completely full this morning when a new patient showed up with a blood sugar of 580 that his friend had obtained at his house. He had not seen a doctor in over 10 years, and was in desperate need of a doctor. His friend suggested me and so he showed up at the clinic as a walk in. Thank God he did, I accepted being double booked and we immediately evaluated his new diabetes diagnosis and started therapy. #patient #functionalmedicine #moderaclinic #longevity #wellness

Can you do lytes, rule out DKA, give fluids and give insulin? If so take the patient, if not send to ER.

You take the new patient! Those saying straight to ER should know the ER is not going to do anything! If the patient is not insured or underinsured. Even a blood sugar of 1000 was just given insulin to get blood sugar down to 599 then given a script for metformin.

ER. I don’t own the clinic. Most the time the support staff won’t stay and lab is gone exactly at closing.
