vaccination

Please vaccinate your children.  We are seeing out breaks from diseases that should not happen.  Kids are placed together everyday in enclosed classroom and this is good environment for diseases to spread.  Would you send a soldier off too war without his gun.  Please speak with your doctors, the thought of not vaccinating your child does not only effect you child but other children as well.  Adults should also get vaccinated as well, i.e., tetanus/diptheria,  flu, pnemonia, shingles to name a few.

New Health Care...?

President Obama's health care plan was passed, or approved, by the Supreme Court.  For me, I think that it's great that everyone will have healthcare.  But, I got a few questions.
First question, who are these people who can afford insurance and do not have it?  The people I see without insurance are the people whose insurance monthly fee is way to expensive; therefore, if you have to decide between paying a high insurance premium and keeping a roof over your head, guess which decision will win.
Also, will we need another department to oversee penalty when your do not get insurance?  I guess that's a way to make new jobs.
Last, does this mean that that the insurance companies will be lowering their rates?  After all, they do have a captive audience.
In closing, I feel we are treating a symptom and not the disease.  We all need to let our congressman know at the end of the day we all Americans, and we need a healthcare system that work.

Please note, I'm not endorsing any candidate or am I talking about the president, so don't go there!

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is sexual transmitted disease that you may not know that you have. 
Most times, it is discovered when labs tests are done, and it's mainly transmitted during unprotected sex, sharing of body fluids, and IV drug users can contract it from sharing of needles.  Getting help, less sexual partners and protected sex is the way to go...Check out some of these articles.

Jealous!

I have had some strange things to have happened to me during the course of my career, but this worrisome and scary. 
A male patient  came with his girlfriend.  During the visit,  the patient's GF (girlfriend) alleged that I had interest in her boyfriend other than professional...(Blank Stare).
Let me state this - PHYSICIANS DONT USUALLY DATE THEIR PATIENTS!  We like our license to much.  If a doctor is nice to a patient, it's because we are nice and concerned.  Yet, most of us are like that with ALL of our patients.  So GF or BF (boyfriend),  leave that problem at home and do not bring it out into the public.  If you can't trust your girlfriend or boyfriend, you may need to re-think your relationship.
Also, I will be dismissing that patient from my practice, because in this day and time you never know when someone will go postal.

On-Call BLUES

Recently, I was on-call for the weekend for my call group, (a group of doctor who cover each other's patients).  One of the problems that on-call doctor face are patients trying to get medications that should have been cleared by that patient's primary care doctor (PCP) during the week.  Please note - If you have prescriptions that you need, please address that before a weekend or holiday.  Sadly, some patients attempt to use on-call doctor to fill prescriptions, or take care of an illness that the patients should have used their PCP to take care of during business hours.  The on-call doctor has no way of knowing the last time you saw your PCP.
So heads up - take responsibility for your health care, and use your PCP.  Also, do not call an on-call doctor in the middle of the night for something that has been going on all day.  Doctors are human...we like to sleep too.

The Safest Sex Ever!

Masturbation is not a dirty word or action.  It is a way to get to find out what you like and help others please you.  Girls get busy especially. There are a lot of web sites where you can ask questions, shop for devices that can deliver to your home, and no one the wiser. For you married girls, you should not be left out!

If you have never had a "Big O", experiment with your husband (or partner) and show each other how.  Start slow and build up.  However, if you can only have the "Big O" with your "manual" friend, you may need to turn down the intensity if you are having problems achieving organism with your partner.

Last tip, hand wash and dry your sex toys after every use and decrease a chance of irritation or infection.  Unscented soaps to prevent Miss Sallye from getting a problem.  Have safe and respectful fun!!!!!!

Muffins & More...

If you saw my post on Muffin tops, I've seen somethings that have made me come up with some other descriptions.  Along with Muffins, you have Buffins, Floppins and Cirmuffins.
***Buffins are back fat that hang over your pants
***Floppins are muffins that flop over into the lap
***Cirmuffins  are if you have ALL of the above.
If you any or all of these, there may be a need for shape wear.  You can also maintain a proper diet & exercise  and get your body right!
If you don't want to have any of those labels, do something about it!
