Yesterday the largest university & hospital network in the state has an online and print newsletter on new medical items and procedures as well as consumer directed articles on topics of better living , yesterday the new issue was dedicated to:
Is it time to finally start wearing adult diapers ??
I could only chuckle and think got that onesie and burned it along time ago ,my doctor looked at what I was reading and snarked " items in the article may be closer than they appear"(referencing the warning on car mirrors ).
It's such a controversial topic because Urologist feel like failures when drugs and surgery don't "cure" IC , so i asked does this mean they are going to try and train this out of new doctors and my doctor said "he'll yes" he has always had interns over the years , and frequently was the only voice of "reason" with new trainees ,so he's happy that this will be a normal part of there training breaking down the stigma on prescribing diapers , he has done it with his interns for years introducing scores of diaper wearing patients that are happy and living fulfilling lives who don't feel like there doctor or modern medicine failed them.
So with this becoming a normal formal part of training more future doctors will not be afraid of doing it ,instead of trying risky expensive procedures that usually fail and make the patient miserable longer, admitting to youself and the patient that in many cases modern medicine has nothing to offer better or more effective than a diaper is not failing the patient in anyway .
