“[The doctors] just see the disease, not me as a person,” a diabetic patient lamented to Dr. Rajeev Kurapati, Medical Director of Integrative Oncology and Hospitality at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Kentucky.
The patient, alias Walter, had been in the hospital for a few weeks from complications of diabetes, including kidney failure, infections in his lower limbs, and near blindness from problems in his nerves.
