An Endocrinologist Makes an Attempt

 A middle-aged woman is battling with diabetes-type 2. Her primary-care physician has run out of options and has referred her to an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist expresses optimism and discusses options. The endocrinologist makes an unexpected discovery which may hold the key to future progress. (This endocrinology role-play is rated “intermediate-level 1”, yet there are terms that may be challenging to even the seasoned interpreter.)
