Mario P. Díaz Barrado: Diabetes, silent
Professor History U.Extremadura
03/23/2013
It has never been my intention to write in the press for strictly personal matters, I have almost always done it to defend my opinion in the administrative field of the University or in the history of history, perfectly marking the territory.I have strongly criticized that Spanish custom of: what's of mine!, Especially because I am sure there are hundreds of people with much more serious problems than those who can worry me.But on this occasion, I will create a precedent, I will talk about what I consider most of mine: my daughter.
She is my little daughter and has diabetes mellitus 1, debuted goes for two years and life changed us all since then.For my profession I travel a lot and, from that moment, there is no day when something worries me or worries when I am far from my daughter.It is true that his mother is always aware, but diabetes is a silent and treacherous disease.
Diabetes is becoming a plague and affects more children and even babies.There are many theories about the origin of the disease, but the truth is that the world comes over when it affects you not, but the people you love most.It is difficult to face diabetes, it is how I have said a silent and treacherous disease, which is getting mining to you, that you condition your way of life, that makes you think differently and that makes you stronger when you do not leave yourselfwin for discouragement.
I do not know that it would have been us, and especially my daughter if, at the time of her debut as a diabetics, we would not have found the pediatric endocrinology team of Dr. González de Buitrago.In those hard moments and, above all, in the successive months when one learns to handle the disease, this team of magnificent professionals knew at all times how to guide and encourage us, fulfilling not only its therapeutic function but something more important: being above all humans.It is difficult to find in the Spanish sanitary landscape a team so competent and close to the patient.We know that nothing will be the same, especially for my daughter, that her life will always be conditioned by the disease, but at the same time we try to instill in her head that does not wrinkle, that she tries to overcome the difficulties, which relies on those who want herThat for her are her parents, her sisters and the pediatric endocrinology team of the San Pedro de Alcántara Hospital.
Why if something works as well, as the pediatric endocrinology team, is disrupted according to administrative issues of one type of contract or another?
Extremadura appears many times in the media wrapped in unfair topics and is true.That is why I understand less that it is not taken care of and respects the excellent, which gives us prestige wherever we go, because the mouth of sick children with diabetes in Extremadura, when they travel, is a good speaker to reflect that some things are doneVery good in Extremadura.
All the diabetic children that my daughter has known at this time have the same opinion of the team of Dr. González de Buitrago.The Federation of Diabetics of Extremadura has raised the voice these days to complain about a decision that seems to be unfair and disproportionate.I join that complaint and I wish that what is well built is not destroyed.Politicians promise us many times happy worlds, but at least one expects from them to knowDaily reflex in the media.
