1 /5 Trish Allen: This endocrinologist almost killed me. She argued with me that I was adult onset diabetic, because I became insulin dependant at 29 (Im 52 now), even though I told her I had issues with sugar as a child. Ive never been tested to confirm what kind of diabetic I am, Ive just had doctors, like her, dismiss me as non-compliance or whatever. Rather than test me to be sure WHAT KIND OF DIABETIC I AM, she gave me meds contraindicated for insulin dependant; I ended up in the hospital. When I came back in (for the last time), in front of me she told an intern, in a condescending tone, that "some people dont tolerate that medicine", after I told her what happened, basically labeling me as non-compliant yet again. I did not "not tolerate " it, its CONTRAINDICATED! I shouldve known better and not taken it before researching myself but I trusted her. Ive since switched to a wonderful Dr that has taken the time to listen to me and tested me to confirm I am, in fact, a JUVENILE DIABETIC!!! My new Dr.- Dr. Hernandez, at IMA, is wonderful, if youre looking for a Dr...avoid this place at all cost!! Shes lucky I didnt sue her! hmmm I still might report her.
