I am not anti-big-pharmaceutical company. In fact, I get along well with almost all of my drug reps, and they are quite welcome to bring lunch to my staff in clinic. I really don't have a problem with that, as long as they don't talk endlessly about their product. I mean, if I've been using that drug for the past few years, it would be safe to assume that I do know something about it, and there is no need to repeat the same spiel over and over. Pharmaceutical pens are a dime a dozen. Our office is overrun with them, and I would be hard-pressed to find a medical office that didn't have at least one pen with a drug name on i...

Welcome!I have the honor of hosting Grand Rounds for the second time! I can't believe it has already been a year since the last time I put all these great medical posts together. Time does indeed fly when you are blogging away.I thought of many different ways to "spice up" Grand Rounds. After much deliberation, I finally decided to" stick to the basics" and just present "the facts", as I did many times before as a resident during our weekly nerve-wracking, anxiety-inducing Urology Grand Rounds.Editor's choice:Keith from Digital Doorway writes about the nursing care crisis.

My worst nightmare came true last monday. I came home from clinic after a crazy busy day to find myself being paged right back to the ER on the other side of town. Alas, I was on call yet again...I had enough time to briefly walk the doggies before their bladders exploded (rather embarassing for a urologist owner...), then quickly headed back into traffic.Much to my horror and dismay, I discovered that I had accidentally left my cell phone at home. This would normally not be such a stressful event, but I was on call, meaning that I got paged multiple times to a couple of different ERs not to mention a few patient calls dur...

Yes, March 20th 2007 is the first day of spring! Though the day is marked by clouds and some drizzles, it is the first step towards warmer and sunnier days. In recognition of this joyous occasion, I managed to get a pedicure during my lunch hour. I have brightly painted red toenails now, and they make me feel happy. I don't know if my male readers will be able to relate (and kudos to you if you can!), but there's something comforting about having nice feet with pretty toenails. Even if you have to wear clogs or closed toe shoes during the day, the knowledge that I have painted toenails makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. ...

I know several active urologists in their late 60s and early 70s who have full time medical practices. Some of them still take call, and all of them still perform surgeries. Even if they seem to enjoy the work, I really want to ask them why they aren't retiring. Don't they want to spend more time with their families? Explore new hobbies? Travel? Decrease their daily stress? Stop dealing with inane insurance policies?It's certainly not the money that's keeping them in practice. Most of them were practicing during the "heyday" of medicine when doctors, especially surgeons, were compensated generously for doing their job. Thi...

Life is ironic. I just wrote that post about Fournier's gangrene on saturday, and I took a call this morning (monday) from the ER about another rule out Fournier's. This particular phonecall was marred by one of the rudest encounter with an ER doc since I've been in practice. On the whole, I have a very congenial relationship with all my ER colleagues. Since I belong to a big urology group that practices at several locations, we interact with 6 different ERs in town when we are on call, and I pride myself on being nice, helpful and minimally obstructive to patient care when the ER calls me.

I'm talking about Fournier's gangrene, also known as necrotizing fasciitis of the male genitalia. The popular press likes to give the friendly moniker "flesh eating bacteria" to describe this horrible infection.This 'F' word is guaranteed to put the fear of God in any urologist. It's an extremely aggressive, rapidly spreading infection that can become life-threatening in a matter of hours. It's very different from the regular garden variety scrotal cellulitis, which is commmon. This rare infection usually starts in the scrotal region and can spread to the whole perineum, upper thigh and lower abdominal area. The patients a...

Via the New York Times: The Swiss pharmaceutical maker Novartis said Tuesday that it had received United States approval for the hypertension drug Tekturna, a potential blockbuster that is the first new type of blood pressure medicine in more than a decade. Approval from the Food and Drug Administration makes the United States the first country to allow it to be sold. The drug is expected to reach American pharmacies later this month, the company said. Given in tablets, it acts by inhibiting renin, an enzyme secreted primarily by the kidneys that raises blood pressure.

When I first saw this patient, there was a note in the chart from the front desk saying "patient does not read". I asked if this was a deliberate decision from the patient, or whether they had meant to say that the patient was illiterate and could not read. Unfortunately, the latter is true. The patient is a retired janitor who is somewhat "developmentally delayed" (I think that's the current correct term), and has never been able to learn to read. He has no family and is functional enough that he does not have a guardian or someone with power of attorney.This poses a difficult situation because I diagnosed him with prosta...

This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which determined that 16.8% of the U.S. population aged years had CKD, according to 1999--2004 NHANES data, compared with 14.5% from the 1988--1994 NHANES (i.e., NHANES III), an increase of 15.9% based on crude estimates of prevalence* (4). Persons with diabetes or cardiovascular disease had a greater prevalence of CKD than persons without those conditions. The results underscore the need to continue surveillance for CKD and its risk factors in the United States and to implement new strategies to reduce the number of persons with this condition.

Like they don't know that it's called demerol or dilaudid... It's difficult to feel sympathy when you feel like you are being manipulated or swindled. Mind you, not every IVDA patient acts this way, but I would be lying if I said I didn't observe a certain pattern of behavior.However, the situation gets even tricker when I perform surgery on IVDA patients and...
