Where are your questions?
I told many friends and acquaintances that I want to write a medical advice blog. Why aren't you guys sending in your questions? It's not like you don't have them. People complain about their aches and pains to me all day long.Are you afraid that I don't know what I am doing because I am depressed? I know SSRIs like the back of my hands, of course. Low back pain is my middle name. I can manage diabetes while watching the World Cup. Hypertension is my ball and chain, my bread and butter, my worst enemy. I could answer STD and substance abuse questions before I even went to medical school, dammit.
Plus, if I don't know the answer to your question, I will send out for a consult. My consultants are some of the best trained specialists this country has to offer. Ever heard of New York Presbyterian/Columbia Univerisity? University of Michigan? Nephrology at UCSD? Oncology at Penn? Critical Care at University of Washington? Geriatrics at Mt. Sinai? Endocrine at Havard? I may not be all that, but I got consultants at my fingertips baby. So keep those questions coming... (pic courtesy of NLM)

Hi Dr Dystopic -
My work colleague just found out she has epstein barr. She wants to know what she can do about it? Do you recommend any supplements her more straiglaced do it by the book doctors might not tell her about?

ohmigod, this is a very complicated question, even for me! Epstein Barr has a long history of being misdiagnosed and mistreated. It sometimes gets thrown into the same category as "chronic fatigue syndrome" and fibromyalgia, which can be poo-pooed by clinicians and labelled as fictional ailments.
As I have a patient waiting, I cannot spend the time right now to give you a thoughtful and complete answer to your question. I will get back to you when time permits.

I feel a little bad adding to the litany of aches and pains you hear about everyday. Is that just residual catholic guilt?

Oh, are you a catholic? do you have any questions about contraception? That's easier than epstein barr..
I´ve noticed an outbreak of a particularly nasty std and it is troubling me greatly. Why are there so many children running around the city these days? Where did they all come from? What can we do to prevent this from turning into an epidemic (are we already there)? Should i call the CDC to file a report on this?
Please advise on how to restore order to our fair city,

that's very funny. unfortunately, probably you and I are the only people who think so. parents get so sensitive... I suppose they will have the last laugh when you and I are dying alone in our respective nursing homes...
I will go to the cdc website and look up if children are a reportable illness. will get back to you on that one.

We will have to set up chat rooms where we can hide while the other residents play with their grandchildren.
