Summary: Over Treatment In Diabetic Cases

Decent Essays
The issue is the one-size-fits all approach. The reason that is the issue is because, it can lead to over treatment in diabetic case and their studying other cases as well. I am interested in this topic because, partnerships bring together people with different skills and different experiences, and maybe even different points of view. These are the types of partnerships we need in the medical workforce to help solve for other health needs.I am concerned about the new medicines that doctors are trying to test on patients because they haven't been tested yet. I'm interested in seeing if there's something that all of those in the medical field can agree on. As always, I love to see people show that they can help, and stick to their commitment.
