Sigh...my dad was just diagnosed with diabetes. A fitting end to my family medicine rotation. After treating 50,000 patients a day with diabetes it seems kind of routine, but he's helped me remember that for each individual patient it's not necessarily routine at all (especially the initial diagnosis) and he's really depressed about it. Not that he's totally turned his diet around, but he's trying.
Seeing all my relatives over winter break (and just having any break at all) has been great. Here's hoping for the best in the new year!!!
