[Diabetes-talk] Can't Help But Crow!

[Mike Freeman]

Thank you, Bernadette.

And bravo on the start of a good relationship with your new endo. It would
be interesting to hear her speak on her impressions upon being introduced
for the first time to working with a blind diabetic. The makings of a
Monitor article, perhaps?

Mike

GOOD FOR YOU M I K E!!!  PHANTABULOUS!!!  You should "CROW!!!"

Now, getting onto something else very interesting, I started with a new ENDO

this week.  Her name is Dr. Tamron Taylor.  Being that she was brand new to 
the office, much less brand new to me, I brought in my bag of paraphernalia,

speculating that she'd never seen most or at least part of what I had: 
count-a-dose, my meter, and so on.  And, my speculations were absolutely 
correct.  She watched me as I demonstrated the count-a-dose and she 
exclaimed, "I never knew anything like this even existed.  Yes, of course, 
she seems to be an extremely down-to-earth sort of lady.  Very genuine.  Not

one of these, (I'm the doctor here and you're just a pea-on patient)!  She 
was genuinely learning from me.  She actually seems very nice, cool and 
laid-back.  This is the first meeting, of course.  I guess we'll see how 
things progress.  We discussed my plan and just how I, myself have 
structured things so she could get to know me.  I let her scroll up and down

my meter in addition to handing her my Excel  Spread sheet.  I actually felt

our first meeting was both productive and positive.

Meanwhile, keep crowing.  Talk again soon!!
