A Lifeline Call: Famedico’s Swift Response to a Diabetic Emergency

One afternoon, Famedico received a distressing call from a concerned daughter about her elderly mother, who had been battling diabetes. The daughter expressed her growing worry—her mother had appeared somewhat tired yesterday, but today she seemed even more exhausted and weak. Sensing the urgency in her voice, Dr. Fathima from Famedico Team quickly responded and asked for the exact location, which was promptly shared via WhatsApp.

Within 15–20 minutes, Dr. Fathima and her dedicated medical team from Famedico arrived at the home. They found the elderly woman struggling to stand, her body trembling as she tried to keep her balance. Her strength was visibly drained, and her face reflected deep exhaustion. Without wasting any time, Dr. Fathima began assessing the situation with her team.

As they checked her vitals, Dr. Fathima noticed that the woman’s blood pressure was worryingly high. This could easily escalate the situation if not immediately addressed. She swiftly administered the appropriate medicines to stabilize the patient’s BP and alleviate the dizziness and vertigo that had set in. Seeing the extent of the woman’s fatigue, Dr. Fathima decided to conduct blood tests to check her sodium and potassium levels—critical electrolytes, especially for the elderly, as imbalances can cause extreme tiredness and weakness.

“We’ve seen these symptoms before,” Dr. Fathima gently explained to the anxious daughter. “Low sodium or potassium levels can cause severe fatigue, especially in elderly patients.If there’s also a fever, it could be worsening her condition.”

In addition to the medication, Dr. Fathima ensured the patient was given intravenous fluids (IV) to help with dehydration, as well as oral rehydration salts (ORS). With her team monitoring the patient’s progress closely, Dr. Fathima remained confident in the treatment plan, reassuring the daughter that they were doing everything possible.

While awaiting the blood test results, Dr. Fathima stayed by the family’s side, making sure the elderly woman was as comfortable as possible. Though the road to recovery might take time, Dr. Fathima’s prompt intervention brought much-needed relief to the worried family.
