Medical Corner
We have accepted the suggestion from a BU family member to facilitate discussion on medical matters which is a topic area that should interest us all. Based on exchanges with and between BU family members posted over time, many of you work in the medical field or possess information on various medical issues acquired based on personal circumstance or otherwise. Medical Corner seeks to encourage ANYONE to submit views on medical experiences, new developments in the industry or any related matter which readers feel can serve to educate the BU family.

ALL WELL TO POST THESE STATISTICS
BUT WHERE IS THE EDUCATION ON EITHER DIABETES OR HYPERTENSION OR DIABETES TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT?
PUT A TAX PUN SWEET DRINKS IS ALL THEM THAT GOT POWER BUT SHOULD YOU NOT TAX ALCOHOL TOO?
WHAT IS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF DIABETES IN MEN IN BARBADOS? IS IT SUGAR RELATED OR IS IT SECONDARY TO CHRONIC PANCREATIS CAUSED BY HIGH ALCOHOL INTAKE
TEK DUNG DIS POST TOO likkle david CAUSE THIS WILL NOT FIT INTO THE NARRATIVE.
HOW MANY DOWN THERE THAT TALKING HAVE DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION AND HAVE MANAGED IT SUCESSFULLY?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO ACHIEVE CONTROL?
IF SO WHY NOT SHARE WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
WHY ARE THE SO CALED JOURNALISTS WHO WRITE ALARMIST TYPE ARTICLES NOT PRESENT ARTICLES BASED ON RESEARCH/
ARE THE TREATMENTS WE ARE USING OFFERING A CURE OR ADEQUATE CONTROL? IF SO, HOW SO? IF NOT, WHY NOT?
