Re: [IPk] Re - Frozen Shoulder
Julie
I have been in hospital a number of times, and the very first time they put
me on a sliding scale insulin drip -total nightmare.
They actually got it wrong and sent me hypo, even though I was continually
complaining.
Hospitals do vary though, but I ahve to say that my experience at both
Private nad NHS has been very much the same, they really didn't know what to
do. So the last time I went in, I insisted that I wear my pump, and my
consultant agreed with me, he was horrified at the last incidence as much as
I was and agreed that I should "self manage" when I went in.
Having said that if I was under for longer than a couple of hrs I may need
to rethink :)
Good luck with the frozen shoulder.
