My name is Karen Armstrong and I'm speaking on Brian's behalf he has a head injury and don't express himself normally.  His father is his caregiver Who is  fast approaching 90 Yrs of age.  I am his sister in law who worked for The Advocate Health Care System for 10 years until I retired in 2019.  His PCP is Dr Tony Hampton, who have been caring for Brian 5+ years.  On Dec. 29 Brian was taken to Emergency at Christ Hospital and admitted, there we found out his blood sugar was 535 and his A1c was at a 10.5 DIABETIC.  Once discharged home I established a LiveWell Ap and went through his lab testing and found the following.  Lab test GLYCOHEMOGLOBIN ON 8-16-19 result showed Brian's A1c was  5.8 Dr Hampton did not express that Brian is pre diabetic no information given to his father about his diet .   Lab test GLYCOHEMOGLOBIN ON 4-03-20 result Brian's A1c was 6.2 Dr Hampton did not express that Brian is pre diabetic no information given to his father about his diet .  Lab test GLYCOHEMOGLOBIN ON 8-31-21 result Brian's A1c was 5.8 Dr Hampton did not  express that Brian is pre diabetic no information given to his father about his diet .  There were no   GLYCOHEMOGLOBIN TEST GIVEN THE YEARS OF 2022 nor 2023 by Dr. Tony Hampton the test was given when he was admitted to Christ hospital on December 29, 2023 and his BS READING WAS 535 with a pop of 10.1 at7:37p.m.and another test show his A1c 10.5 on  12-30-23 at 12:52 a.m.  I do know ADVOCATE protocol and I know about patient care and Dr Hampton failed Brian. if he educated his dad with referring him to a dietitian in the beginning had been given ea we as a family would of established healthier eating habits.    I am truly sadden and disappointed in this doctor in the way he handled my family member.  I have removed him from Dr Hampton care and I pray no other patients experienced what we as a family is going through at this time.  Brian could if had a stroke, went into a coma or died if left untreated.  This is a sad situation and a huge disappointment to me as a former employee.  I took pride in my job and especially caring towards the patients that walked through our doors .
