These Medicines Often Send Americans to ERs, Really? November 23, 2016

So easy to say, it is weight gain patient have, or it is life style, or it is medication patient take, but never medical care providers who are responsible for wrong medicine, or wrong diagnose, or any other wrong doing. Why it is so? Just take a look, whom to blame that diabetic in ER?

Diabetic patients taking insulin run into trouble when their blood-sugar levels fall too low, he (study co-author Dr. Daniel Budnitz) added. If they forget to eat or accidentally administer the wrong dose, they can pass out, fall and break a hip, he said.

True? FALSE!
        Take a moment how diabetic educated. What is most important treatment for us, all of us, diabetics and non diabetics? Weight loss. To bring  down my high blood sugar numbers I have to loose weight. I have to practice Starvation Diet, as it is proudly recommended by ADA. I am diabetic type 2. According to American Medical System I done it for myself. I can easy fix my medical condition with Starvation diet, about 800 calories daily meal. So, what will send me into ER when I start to practice this life style? That I forgot to eat? Or that doctor said that I have to lose weight?
      Now about wrong dose of insulin injection. What dose is 'right'?  How doctor Rx insulin and what doctors suggest how to take insulin dose? No one doctor can say what dose of insulin 'right' or 'wrong'. When we are in hospital they inject half of our daily dose as we said we do inject. In many cases they do reject to give to diabetic any insulin injection. They do not know how to determine dose of insulin to inject, and how to connect dose of insulin and level of sugar in blood. After that diabetic must find the way how to still alive and avoid high-low swings. If I passes out, it is my fault. I injected too high dose of insulin. So simple.

While medication safety has improved in hospitals, reducing harm from the medicines people take outside of the hospital remains a challenge, the study authors noted. 

      Another pretty interesting statement. Really, how safety was improved in hospital? Why after hospital people still not able to take medicine in right dose? Remember, it is ER. It is even not hospital. So, say me, how they improved safety medicine and how it is proved that improvement was done? Probably it is the same way how Mr. Davidson, woman in Florida, who come to ER with breathing problems, was discharged from ER with good vitals, and died less then an hour later when she was transferred to police station? As I do remember from my hospital and ER visits they simple discharge patient if one is in critical condition. I was forced to go out of ER after midnight with blood in my brain due to stroke. I still fight for my life. No one diagnose what is going wrong. All treatments for me only weight loss surgery. I refuse this treatment option. So, I still alive, and fight.

Illness such as diabetes and heart disease become more common with age and are treated with drugs commonly linked to emergency department visits, Budnitz explained. Also, "having chronic illnesses can make adverse events more serious when they do occur," he said.

       Why they so love to insists, we are prone to adverse events? What they are, those events which are adverse? Diabetes type 2? That diabetic with A1c=12.4 can easy  adverse so advanced medical condition just with right life style? In stead, diabetic type 2 come to hospital, and die behind the closed curtains. No any attention from medical staff.

Michael Cohen, president of the nonprofit Institute for Safe Medication Practices, said it's important to document trends in adverse drug events.
"They've been focusing on opioids, anticoagulants and antidiabetic drugs like insulin or the oral drugs that people take because these are the ones that are most likely to harm people," Cohen said.

      So simple, so easy to do. Just stop Rx insulin for diabetics and there is no ER visits. The question is, why they are so prone to Rx opioids? Because of high profit? Also it is coumadin which leads to bleeding, right? If so then why all diabetic have so badly body rush, bleeding?
     Really, this article is about what? BTW, is this really true that ER visits caused by those adverse problems? As I do remember, I come to ER because of stroke. I was discharged with paper that I had low blood sugar. I am diabetic type 2. I take 300 units of insulin. Regardless why I am in ER, the diagnose all the time the same, low blood sugar. So simple. Really, who know what really bring American into ER? All what we do know that patient was in ER, because payment to hospital. In article it is presented that it is kids and elderly who are more often visit ER. Say me why? Usually it is population who has medical insurance, so every one of then have primary doctors. Why doctors did not provide proper care for patients and patient did not have choice but to go to ER?
What about this reality?
