Documented

Through the interpreter, you tell the doctor that you are documented, and he smiles. He just had to make sure, he says. Then, he begins to explain to the interpreter that you have something called Type II Diabetes mellitus.

He tells the interpreter that they had checked your finger-stick blood sugar on your way to the hospital, and that it was in the 800's. The interpreter relays this to you, but the entire time, the doctor speaks directly into the iPad. He does not seem very welcoming.

The interpreter relays that the doctors have given you insulin and fluids through an IV, and that you should be ready to go home within a few days. They also tell you that the doctor encourages you to go see someone at a primary care office. You know that there is a free clinic at the Backstretch in NY, and because you don't have insurance you figure it will be easier to go there, even if you have to wait a few months.
