6. Pat’s Story

7. Patricia (Pat) Chalmers is a 31-year-old woman who prides herself on
self-sufficiency and resourcefulness. She works part-time as a
bookkeeper and gets paid to take care of her aging grandmother with
whom she lives. Pat describes herself as having been a caretaker since
adolescence. It is therefore difficult for her to acknowledge her own
needs or to seek others for help.
Pat is tired of people commenting on her weight, diet, and need to
exercise. She avoids health care as much as possible because she
knows she’ll be told to lose weight or be blamed for “being fat” (her
words). “I know what risks I face” she says. “But I’ve tried
everything and nothing works. I’ve accepted my size and would like
others to respect that.”
Pat found herself in the ED with a broken ankle several months ago.
The break was significant enough to require surgery. Labs revealed
elevated glucose levels and surgery was put off until further tests
could be done to determine whether Pat might have diabetes. When
asked about this possibility, Pat reacted strongly. “I don’t have the
time or money for diabetes,” she explained.
