  • 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...

  • What is the best diet for inflammatory bowel disease?

    The answer from the book is that what works for one person may not work for others. KEEP A FOOD DIARY, and record what seems to work for you. A multivitamin daily is an easy way to be sure you get the nutrients you need. Low-fiber foods seem to be safest, and it's a good idea to avoid milk products at least at first. Beyond that it's trial and error. READ MORE

  • Can you survive from sepsis?

    People survive it all the time, especially now that everybody gets a lactic acid level even if they're not critical. But the real question is why you haven't asked your husband's doctor this question. If he is in ICU, he will have 3 or 4 doctors from various specialties--but only one primary doctor. Ask the NURSE which one is most likely to give you the information you need (the nurse can also answer day-to-day stuff, like what that tube is for and what kind of nutrition hubby is getting).. If your husband is unable to speak for himself, YOU are the person in charge and will need to tell the doctors how he would feel about proposed procedures, from blood transfusions to major surgery.  Write this board again if you have more questions. I'm a hospitalist and work regularly with ICU patients. READ MORE

  • What urine test shows a UTI?

    A plain and simple urinalysis. But those are pretty rare in men, so please let a doctor decide what test is needed. READ MORE

  • Can anemia be cured?

    In a 22-year-old female it is almost certainly caused by iron deficiency, which most menstruating ladies have. Ask the doctor who told you about it which iron supplement s/he recommends; if the anemia is mild you may be fine with just an iron-containing vitamin pill a day. READ MORE

  • How do you diagnose gonorrhea?

    In a medical facility. Most urgent care places have the materials, or a public health clinic can help. READ MORE

  • Does Type 1 diabetes get worse with age?

    I would not expect it to. It is natural for changes in kidney function, diet, etc., to change your need for insulin, and the diabetologists are always coming up with some new rule, so don't think your present dose is permanent. Just take excellent care of yourself and you'll live longer than classmates who abuse their bodies. READ MORE

  • Does undersea medicine upset your stomach?

    Medicine is medicine. Some of it invariably upsets SOMEBODY’S stomach. READ MORE

  • How long does gastritis take to heal?

    You may be better in just a few days. READ MORE

  • Can you treat a brain aneurysm without surgery?

    Get a second opinion, but get it NOW. READ MORE

  • Can I work after spinal fusion surgery?

    I would discourage construction work, but walking a bit and doing office stuff should be fine. The surgeon should tell you all of this. READ MORE

  • How do I get rid of kidney pain?

    Lower back pain is almost NEVER caused by anything about your kidneys. Go to a nice primary care doctor and stop self-diagnosing. READ MORE

  • What foods are good for your thyroid?

    I can't think of a thing. If there were any such nutritional therapy (as there is for diabetes, arterial disease, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, inflammatory bowel disease and pancreatic insufficiency and a host of other diseases), the doctor who diagnosed your thyroid problem would surely have mentioned it. If the course of therapy he or she recommends is somehow unacceptable, you can ask about alternatives. READ MORE

  • Does my daughter need to have orthopedic surgery?

    Let the family practice doctor have a look and maybe do an X-ray. He or she can either reassure you or refer you to orthopedics. READ MORE

  • What do my blood test results mean?

    There are literally dozens of conditions that could cause those test results, and most of them respond at least somewhat to prednisone. Ask the doctor who has more info about you, or else see another doctor. READ MORE

  • Should I visit the ER for a sudden nosebleed?

    Not for the first one...unless cuts won't close or you see tiny red spots around your ankles. Those could be a sign of low platelets, which is dangerous but almost always fixable. READ MORE

  • Can exposure to dust cause lung problems?

    Yes, please ask HR about why masks are not provided. READ MORE

  • What is autoimmune hepatitis?

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/autoimmune-hepatitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20352153 The real question is, how bad is the case that HE has, because everybody has it differently. It may be a minor nuisance or mean a lot of time spent with doctors and sometimes in the hospital. I know you want a medical answer, but the best advice I can give him is to make sure he has good insurance. There will be a lot of blood work and other tests, and some of the treatments can be expensive. He needs a good specialist in liver disease (hepatologist), preferably one based at a medical school where everything is as up to date as possible (and if he has a severe case, they can get him into a transplant program). No alcohol is a common instruction, though if he drinks something by mistake it's not that big a deal. He needs to keep working fulltime as long as he can, and think really hard about changing jobs (since insurance companies can be mean about "pre-existing conditions"). READ MORE

  • What could be the cause of an enlarged prostate?

    Being a 48-year-old male is cause enough. Get the best urologist you can find; you may need surgery. READ MORE

  • Can stress be the cause of chest pain?

    Get your chest to a doctor. Get an EKG and some lab work and THEN you'll get some answers. READ MORE

  • What do I do with veins on my legs?

    Ask around your area for a vascular surgeon who does this kind of work. If they contrast with your skin color, pancake makeup works pretty well. READ MORE
