[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 60259, member: 13077"] Mainly this is a response to Deeby... Why is it doctors put such emphasis on age these days. I have a baby with down syndrome because I was not in the high risk area regardless of markers at my scan. I know parents well under 30 with problems not in their age group. Plenty of people develop breast cancer under 50. Whatever the diagnosis, the outcomes don't improve by doctors not looking at the symptoms. Maybe we should all be consulted over the phone and age not be a question that should be asked. Surely with your high bs you should of had immediate treatment even if you were T2. Did they think you had just eaten 10 donuts? I just get more upset by the medical profession every day. Sadly, both my parents were medical professionals but both happily retired as the breakdown in the hospital systems occured. Doctors seem to have forgotten how to listen. Well, I hope things get better for future generations but feel they might get a whole lot worse before this happens. Jen. [/QUOTE]
