When I got diabetes education my teacher taught me the symptoms of low and high blood sugar and gave me a blood glucose meter starter pack. She taught me how to calibrate the meter and check my blood sugar. I learned what range was acceptable, when I should take note, and when I should call...

It has been drilled into my head that post-tx life is filled with doctors visits (for awhile anyway) and expensive co-pays. Have you been able to support yourself or do you rely on your family/spouse's income? Could you go back to work? Could you go back to the same job that you had before or...

Yeah, that's just the way it is. The call ahead doesn't mean much except that instead of the ED docs deciding what to do with you (x-rays, admit, etc), the decision has been made and generally they'll follow it. Wait in the waiting room because if you aren't there they will skip over you and...

In addition to vanco and linezolid, you can try telavancin, a new and improved version of vanco that kills bacteria in multiple ways. Therefore, it should work against MRSA if you feel that vanco isn't doing enough for you. If you react to vanco you might also react to telavancin. I pre-treat...

As Ymikhale said, it takes 2 weeks for final results because it takes that long for a fungus (mold) to grow enough for them to tell the species. You should be able to get preliminary bacterial results much quicker (~2 days) with a more complete reading with resistance info after about a week...

I got back-to-back Masters degrees (a M.A. in Anthropology and a M.A.T. in Museum Education). I finished the first Masters in May and started the second that June. It was a 13 month program (2 summer semesters) so all told three solid years of school. Because I started right after undergrad...

I absolutely get a flu shot every year. I still got the flu last year and ended up in the hospital miserable and on 4L of oxygen when I normally don't use any during the day. My chest was on fire and I couldn't stop hacking. It was a terrible experience and so I will continue to get my shots...

Unfortunately, there is no good MRSA maintenance drug. There is some anecdotal support, but not much clincal data to support it, that long term use of a tetracycline antibiotic like doxycycline or minocycline will have some effect in suppressing MRSA if you are colonized. My infectious disease...
