If you’re having any type of orthopedic surgery, chances are very, very good that there will be a visitor in the operating room you were never told about. And it’s not another doctor or nurse — or even a medical student. No, this person is a sales rep, someone who makes a living selling and […]

Why seeing your dentist can keep you out of the cardiologist’s office August 8, 2016

My dentist (and probably yours, too), has a sign on his office wall that says: “Ignore your teeth and they’ll go away.” But ignoring our teeth can have consequences other than just losing them.

Is that knee surgery a procedure you really need? August 1, 2016

If you’ve got chronic knee pain, you’re hobbling around on a gold mine. Unfortunately, that pot of gold isn’t going to do YOU a bit of good. In fact, just the opposite. All you get is the pain, while others get the gain. In this case I’m talking specifically about the pain that radiates out […]

Picnics, outdoor grilling and packing up the cooler for a fun trip to the beach can be some of the best joys of summer. But if you’re not careful, these outings can turn into a trip to find the nearest urgent care or ER. When the temperature rises, it’s time to take extra precautions with […]

Anti-depression drugs are the wrong medicine to treat heart failure July 14, 2016

For heart failure patients, it’s a double dose of trouble. First, the condition itself can lead to depression. Then, the drugs prescribed to treat depression can cause worsening heart problems.
