Doctor Explains: Why Medical Diagnoses Become Curses

You're 18 and there's a crazy accident that probably would have killed most people. It was March 29th of 1995 and what basically happened was I was a soccer player and I was playing indoor soccer and routine play, just balls kind of just kicking along the wall. And so I'm running and this athlete hits me and kind of lifts me up and I roll over the half wall and immediate pain. I had severed my pancreas in half. I don't really remember much of this. I was vomiting. It was the worst PA could ever, ever imagine. I was having doctors say, you're an insulin dependent type 1 diabetic, life isn't going to be the same for you. And all of a sudden I became a type 1 diabetic. I had a physician that said, no matter what you do, nothing is going to change, you're just going to be a diabetic. I mean, and just straight faced like that. And you know, whether that's what you call a bad seed, you could call it a curse. You cannot say that to a human being. If the you just don't know what's going on in their head. I think that's unacceptable. Is to put in a curse like that, to plant a seed in somebody's head that, that is not possible, it's not acceptable.
