Been there. Had to declare bankruptcy and take some blogs off my feed. I’m able to keep up now, but don’t comment as much.

My current endo wouldn’t know social media if the Zuck himself explained it. He’s a fracking luddite when it comes to staying informed. It’s not his age, it’s his attitude. He won’t download meter data. He won’t do email.

I doubt he even knows these conferences exist.

It’s tricky. I want my doctor to be up on all the latest development and know about the newest and most promising therapies, but I also want her to be available in the office to treat and counsel patients. Of course, part of what she might recommend would be things that doctors learn at professional conferences like Scientific Sessions.

So I think endos should go, although perhaps not every year. This stuff trickles down after all. I would rather have them read the journals that come across their desks than go to conferences. I figure, if we in the DOC know about it, there’s a good chance that our doctors also do and are waiting for the initial promising research to crystallize into proven therapies.

Then again, some wait way too long, and it would be a good idea to have them go to conferences and have their minds expanded. What we don’t want are situations like I had with my first endo. When I asked him what was new in diabetes, he said, “not much,” and then changed the subject to the Red Sox.

I love the phrase family of strangers. I think it sums up the DOC perfectly
