What's A Deposition and How Do I Handle It?
You're sure that you have a legitimate medical malpractice claim, and your attorney has found experts who support you after reading your medical records. Now somebody wants to take your deposition, which is something you've never done. What's going to happen and how do you prepare for it?A...
High creatinine and normal bun?
If the doctor hasn’t commented on it, I would ask to be referred to a nephrologidt. READ MORE
Can I drink coffee after a stent?
It would probably be good to limit it to 2 cups a day, preferably after a meal, but there are no scientific studies favoring or banning caffeine after a stent. READ MORE
Kidney stone stent?
Ask the urologist. READ MORE
Covid-19?
I would get the antibodies rechecked in 3 months. Yours sounds like MOST Covid cases, an annoying respiratory illness that goes away. The vaccination seems to help people with ongoing problems, but you don’t appear to be one of them. Vaccinate only if your antibodies drop. READ MORE
Can a woman get depressed after giving birth?
Well, of COURSE. Call your obstetrician TODAY. There are meds that are safe even if you are breastfeeding. Postpartum depression has been recognized for decades. READ MORE
Bowel blockage?
Go to an urgent care that can do at least a plane X-ray if not a CT and maybe some lab tests as well. READ MORE
When should you go to the emergency room for high blood pressure?
It’s not an emergency room thing unless you have numbness or weakness suggesting a stroke, or chest pain or trouble breathing to suggest heart problems. Write down your blood pressure readings for a couple of weeks and take them to a patient primary care doctor (internal medicine or family practice) who can prescribe medicine as needed and see you every few weeks to be sure they are keeping it under control. The doctor will probably suggest labs or other tests, but the first priority is getting the pressure down. Be honest if you have limited finances. READ MORE
Is frequent urination a sign of diabetes?
Among other things. Get a urine test at the very least. Now would be a good time to find a primary care doctor. READ MORE
Causes of normal TSH, low T4, and lower T3?
I think you have the right questions. I hope that starting a thyroid supplement helps you to feel better. READ MORE
Does exercise lessen constipation?
Probably not as much as a high-fiber diet, but it helps some. If the constipation has just started in the last few weeks, PLEASE see your doctor. READ MORE
How can you detect a heart blockage at home?
You can’t. A primary care doctor can help decide if you are at risk and order the necessary tests. READ MORE
Can a neuropsychologist diagnose ADHD?
Very likely. READ MORE
What is the best medication for irregular heartbeat?
What KIND of irregular heartbeat? What does your EKG look like and what medications are you taking? Any other symptoms? In other words a doctor needs to see you, listen to the heart and run at least an EKG. READ MORE
What are the side effects of having your gallbladder removed?
Very few—same as for any other operation, but since this one is usually done via endoscope, they’re pretty small. We do NOT recommend taking the GB out preventively, but if it has caused problems (the worst being pancreatitis), it will like do that again so get it out. READ MORE
What is an alternative to mesh for hernia?
Ask a surgeon please. Most insurance companies are happy to pay for second opinions. Try to go to a surgeon on staff in a medical school. READ MORE
How common is diabetes in America?
Really common. It generally gets picked up early; ask at your next check-up. READ MORE
Can a heart attack lead to cardiac arrest?
Yes, it is one of the most common causes. READ MORE
How long does it take for a cold to turn into pneumonia?
Up to 10 days. If you develop chills and fever, run to the doctor right away. READ MORE
What are symptoms of high creatinine?
Ask the person who told you it was high. It should not be abnormally high in a 16 year-old unless there is some serious medical problem. READ MORE

The kind prescribed by a doctor who has examined the testicle. READ MORE
