It's extremely rare to actually find a doctor who can help you get rid of diseases these days without getting no side effects and so i thank Dr.ademise for helping me eradicate the genital herpes permanently with his natural roots and herbs remedy
Dear University of Iowa Health Care, I have a terminology related question. If inguinal hernia appears only on one side of the body it is called unilateral inguinal hernia, if on both sides it is bilateral inguinal hernia. If a patient has unilateral inguinal hernia, but before the surgery the ultrasound examination discovers the presence of asymptomatic contralateral inguinal hernia, is the correct diagnosis still unilateral inguinal hernia, or it changes to bilateral inguinal hernia? Thanks!
The nipple-areola complex has ducts that extend into the breast tissue. This means that breast cancer can hide in this area and then reoccur. From my understanding, nipple-sparing with "coring" of the area (as described at 2:15) is usually only an option if the tumor is further away and there's a low chance of finding cancer cells near the nipple.
Well I’m apparently a 28D/DD a nearly impossible size to find 😭. Bust is 32 or 33 inches depends how tight And under bust is 27 inches so I rounded up to a 28. I’ve been to Victoria Secret before and they deliberately give me the wrong size it’s actually kinda funny. They tell me I’m a 32DD…
right up my alley’ my psa was slowly moving up’ did the usual preventative measures’ colonoscopy’ DRE’s - then Bam 💥 I started getting approval for biopsy at psa around 5-6 lab before biopsy was 16’ waiting for results’ waiting’ DR @ the VA calls 📞 can’t find my biopsy? It’s lost 😡 - by the time trying to get approval for another biopsy at 16 psa - lab be 2nd biopsy at 32psa’ - get results - psa at 64’ positive cancer in the prostate and speared to bone’ within 3/4 months hip pain with a limp constant pain day and especially all night- knees R- hip and lower back- confirm with a PET-CT - on Hormone pills 💊 30 days and tomorrow injection every 6 months’ so it moves very fast’
Thank you Dr. Ponseti. Your willingness to publish your procedure was in itself a miracle. My son was born with the condition in 2023 and your procedure is what is being adopted here in Nigeria. Thank you again.
This hospital is great. It has limitations. I love the administrative culture. Everyday is a new day and new Meetings! All u gotta say "we are not as diverse as other places, we are learning how to train and deal with staff, etc". Be more discreet tho. Definitely. But bringing it up makes it easier for leadership. U dont have a problem if U know simple stories? So. Thats called leadership. This is a great hospital tho. Ucsf shud be jealous. This hospital is interesting. Very cool doctor drama.
I avoid the University of Iowa bc I look white but Im half Asian and the South Korean nurses and dentists (female) are scary. This hospital has a lot to learn about diversity. They intimidate other Asians and whites to gain better access to courting the Caucasian doctors. The hospital has to learn that diversity takes a while. Its horrifying when you realize just a few racial group of females attack bc its not fair that their half Korean doesnt look white. Its important for people to be mature. It takes time to understand the ugly parts about diversity. I learned to tolerate people in Northern California because of the long time that people had and the culture that came out by correcting other races. Its full of mistakes. Theyve had longer to learn. All you have to do is realize they do it, quietly 🤫 discreetly take care of it. For now, I avoid the hospital. I know youre learning! Ive learned by your teaching hospital. Give yourself a break and admit its all new to you. Youre going to be stuck watching ur own art trying to figure out peoples race and personalities if you take diversity too quickly. The diversity of Iowa City is actually limited compared to San Francisco and Sacramento. Give yourself a break and maybe consider whats happening. Have a lovely December! Youre doctors a good job btw ! I still avoid U! 😄. Imma pass!
Because it would grow back again. If the doctors miss even the slightest part of a tumor. And what if the tumor is inside the brain? The patient would be left with permanent damage AND the cancer would grow back to god knows where (depending on the type of cancer). It’s not just the point of removing the tumor, point is, to stop it completely. The reason why cancer is formed is due to the fact that the part of the DNA chain which is responsible for detecting abnormal cells and ordering them to die is destroyed. So, radiation therapy targets it and obliterates it (the part of the DNA chain that is damaged in the cell which results in the destruction of the tumour). And it takes so long to completely radiation therapy because the doctors want the body to recover from the radiation without the risk of severe side effects. Of course every person reacts differently to medications, but this type of treatment has a much higher chance of survival and recovery than a scalpel.
I am in search of a Jerilyn Fisher originally from the Lake Fenton, MI area. I have a childhood friend of hers that is my fantastic Uncle that has been on a long search for her. Please let me know if there is a way to contact this women. Congratulations on this amazing award. ❤️❤️❤️
I woke up today with a deep pain in my chest and upper back it was so pain full I cried, then as a started to walk towards the living room my vision was blurry and I heard something like a whistle. I was sweating like crazy even though I had no fever and when I breathed the pain was stronger. I booked an appointment today I am feeling much better, I don’t know what happed today but I hope it never happens again
Thank you for this. Very helpful. God bless Brave Charlie for the demonstration…a lot of us can relate to her & it makes it so much easier to see how things you are talking about make such a big difference when demonstrated on a person.
Thank you so very much Dr. Ponseti. My son has bilateral clubbed feet and his methodology corrected my son's feet. If doctors would listen to each other and try methods that are working better than current methods, healthcare would grow exponentially. Its frustrating that it takes so long for things to get better. 😊
