Policing Our Doctors Dear friends, what the last month has taught me is we should not be the last person to know a diagnosis we may have. I had my records reviewed by my cannabis consultant. I was told that my doctors have known I had kidney disease since 2001. But they did not write it in the diagnosis nor did I find out until days after my kidneys totally shut down. I am sure I would have done many things differently if I had just known the diagnosis when they learned it 13 years ago. Caregivers I do know how full your plates are but sometimes it means reading every surgery report to get to the bottom of all our diagnosiss. We cannot be sure our doctors will reveal things that can be potentially life threatening. Due diligence to protect ourselves is needed every step of this journey! Please learn from my near fatal experience. We cannot count on our doctors to tell us all our risks we must investigate for our own and our loved ones sake! Hang in there my friends, we just need to police our doctors whether we feel like it or not! Debbie M. Wilson
