The other day I watched a doctor tell her patient that he needed to use all of the possible different pump sites to prevent lipodystrophy. The patient said he did not use his legs because it hurt him when he had tried to use the legs before. She proceeded to try to use a fear tactic about how awful scar tissue can be. It was so hard for me to stay quiet. I mean what exactly is the point in telling someone they need to do something when they are telling you they are not going to do? I mean is that helping anyway? Honestly, I don't use my legs and I agree it hurts in my legs too. It annoys me when someone who has no idea how this all feels tells me what they read in a book! Do you have to have a pump connected to you to stay alive alllllll the time? Do you have these pieces stuck in your body? Then maybe you should listen to me, as a patient, when I say I don't like it in a certain place. Why would I do something that will hurt me constantly for 3 days? Nothing annoys me more than a physician who thinks they know it all because they read this or read that. You know what, books are not reality. Crazy right? We are all different people. One man or woman’s favorite pump site is another's no way am I using that again site. We are all different people. We all want and like different things. So Dr. Know It All, listen to your patient next time instead of trying to force your opinion down his throat!! And my fellow patients, we need to all stand up for what we need and tell our doctors how we feel. There are some providers out there who actually will listen to what we have to say and who might learn a thing or two from us.
