We recently talked with Nurse Maryse and she told us this incredible story about a patient in her clinic in Cascade Pichon!

“So I recently had a sick patient who came to me. She felt awful and thought that she was trapped in some sort of Voudou activity. She was very worried because she thought that someone was trying to put a spell on her. I told her, “I actually think that you have some sort of medical problem - it’s not anything related to the devil. I think it’s some sort of health issue.” The patient was persistent that she was afflicted by some sort of Voudou activity, so I just suggested to her that we give her a glucometer test to check her blood sugar. She initially refused the test, but one day she came back to the clinic and wanted to do the test.

We found out that her blood sugar was 508, and I told her “the devil is the sugar in your blood.” So I started giving her some information on diabetes and some meds as well. She then came back a couple of days later and her blood sugar was 160 which is a good thing. This is just one of the many stories that happen frequently in my clinics.”
