I was enraged by the original story. I'm angry all over again. This is simply evil. Medical professionals who torture people to line their own pockets should be jailed. Yet, it seems it's those who complain or blow the whistle who suffer the worst consequences.

He belongs in jail and the hospital needs to pay some consequences as well

The man is a serial killer.

For profit healthcare needs to end this is the shit it encourages

Mengele was not the first and unfortunately wasn't the last. Legalized monsters

How incredibly fucking bleak. A single doctor should never wield that much power.

The hospital allowed his behavior, they are as guilty he is.

wickedsmartface.bsky.social•80 days ago

A failure on so many fronts. I'm sure this is hardly a one-off.

Statement from Dr Weiner....

"We had tried to cure Anthony of his diabetes on numerous occasions. He never listened or complied. Our idea was to put him on a chemotherapy diet. It was genius on our part. It has kept him alive for the last 9 years".

To control diabetes cut out most carbs from your diet. Stay away from the middle aisles at the supermarket and stick with fresh meat, fruit and green vegetables.

He has type 1 diabetes. His pancreas is attacking itself and cannot make insulin regardless of his diet. Please stop confusing diabetes types just because you want to shame people for what they eat and pretend food deserts don’t exist.

shippybins.bsky.social•80 days ago

Did you say dessert?

which-witch-ru.bsky.social•80 days ago

I wish I could joke, but food deserts are only going to get worse under trump. Food deserts are prevalent in poorer and rural areas where fresh, healthy foods aren’t as available as processed foods - like when a Dollar General or gas station is the only “grocery store” for miles.

As long as we can all survive on beef tallow (steroid free fingers crossed) Where's the problem?

sudsymonkey.bsky.social•80 days ago

He has type 1 diabetes- likely the only “cure” is a pancreatic islet transplant

suebeeblue.bsky.social•80 days ago

You're trying to be reasonable with someone who doesn't know the difference.

shippybins.bsky.social•80 days ago

OR....

See Dr Weiner. 🙂

He might take you the long way round but dag nammit he'll cure ya.

God bless America.

Weiner should be in prison.

Always get a second opinion. Cancer and Diabetes patients are being bastardized by Treating Specialists. #realdonaldtrump #robertkennedyJr protections for cancer and diabetes patients is a must.

This is just one patient's story. Read the full story on Dr Weiner's long, troubled history -- including patients who never lived to learn what had happened -- here:

This is the most insane story

thoreaureborn.bsky.social•80 days ago

Absolutely horrifying. You just can't trust anyone in any sector that is privatized.
