The facility will say they followed the protocols of treatment but the patient was non compliant. Which is true. They are monitoring her and feeding her adequate food. Technically they aren’t doing anything wrong. They probably have no policy on buying outside food and therefore cannot enforce such a rule. They cannot restrict her behavior or throw out food she buys. It’s all on her.

I can understand that policy applying to
most
people, but with Christina and her out of control diabetes that they're trying to
get
under control combined with her out of control eating habits, this is akin to allowing a patient admitted for pulmonary edema, or some other cardio-pulmonary problems, access to three packs of cigarettes every day.
But even then, your logic would
still
apply, as the
patient
is ultimately responsible for following up or following through on the doctor's orders and their own care. It's just frustrating watching all their efforts go down the drain. Short of her being declared incompetent and being put into some type of facility with tight regulations, she's going to continue to walk across a burning bridge.

If they banned her from ordering food they would probably have to ban all the patients from having outside food and that seems unlikely.
At the end of the day they're not her legal guardians or anything like that she hasn't been deemed incompetent or whatever (yet) so that might not be something they're allowed to stop her from doing.

lose the peperoni and the pizza is a 7/10.
however, the Doc Pep doesnt look zero-sugar/diet. it's regular with more sugar than a diabetic should consume in a week. you should drink only zero-sugar drinks.
justify taking taxpayer money- which you do not contribute to that revenue source- all the while making yourself sicker and potentially requiring more expensive treatment?
@ donna: please evaluate my position both for medical and financial soundness.
