Kerri-Lee Halkett and John Hong, MD discuss three studies. Obesity genes can be thwarted with exercise. Women with BRCA mutations can live longer with removal of ovaries. And IUDs are becoming popular again.
Mosquitoes! I hate them. There can be 100 people in a room and one mosquito, and I will be the only one in that room bitten. Once bitten, twice– not shy, itchy! I used to swell up from mosquito bites like Tom Cruise’s ego. I have a can of “Off!” everywhere I go– even that [...]

Botox for the face is the number-one non-surgical cosmetic procedure. It’s like “Take that frown and turn it upside down” because it paralyzes the muscles– although depending on where the Botox is used, both happy and frustrated faces can be erased.

Addiction to drugs leads to a path of wanting more: more drugs, more often. It is a chronic disease of impaired control of using drugs/alcohol despite the harm they cause. The repeated use of the substance comes from craving and/or the compulsive need to use it whether from physical or psychological dependence.

Type II Diabetes was called “Adult Onset Diabetes,” but it isn’t anymore because it’s now occurring and increasing in children and adolescents. In fact, one study shows that with the current trends in childhood/adolescent obesity, 40-50 percent of babies born after the year 2000 will develop Type II Diabetes in their lifetimes.
Embarrassing things happen all the time in everyday life. I’m trying to play more tennis, and right now my skills are mediocre at best. Recently I chipped a shot beautifully into the backhand corner against my tennis buddy.
“Wow,” I thought to myself, “that was a great shot!” My brief moment of glory ended [...]
Six Feet Under is probably my favorite television series ever. The Fisher & Sons Funeral Home was not a fun place like a disco club or an amusement park, but it was a quite interesting. In the very first episode, Nathaniel Fisher, the father of the family, is driving his brand-new hearse and smoking [...]

Planets are pretty fascinating. Don’t you think it is amazing there are other planets, suns, and moons? Not to sound like Katherine Hepburn (remember, Barbara Walters asked her if she were a tree, what kind would she be?), but if I were a planet, I would definitely be Mercury, named after the Roman messenger [...]

“I’m scarred for life.” Not “scared” as in, “Run, Forrest, Run,” but as in, “You hurt me. You hurt me bad!”
Scars never really go away. They can diminish, but a scar is a scar: Al Pacino, Scarface– Batman’s Two Face– Joan Rivers– Oh, wait, those are multiple face lifts.
Remember in Lethal Weapon (I [...]

Pâté is not politically correct food because of what is done to poor Mrs. Goose. Personally I think eating liver is like eating toenails or something. But then again some people eat pig’s feet, so we all have our preferences, including me.
Back in Kenton, OH, my terrorizing classmates would ridicule [...]

Red is a bold color. You have to be brave to wear an all-red outfit. How many men have you seen wear a red suit, besides The Joker and Elton John?
I wear red ties. I don’t have any red pants or shirts. Shoe colors are “cordovan” or “ox blood,” but not red. Better [...]

“Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” As if!
Quite a few people seem to believe their houses are made of Pyrex, so they get out their slings like David going after Goliath. That’s why politicians shouldn’t have negative campaign ads-it ends up like two nasty high school girls fighting to [...]

“Scab” is such an interesting word. I remember the culture shock in third grade when we moved from the Big Apple to Nowhereland, Ohio– and the shock was more for them than us. They looked and talked to us like we were Martians. (”We come in peace, but if you aren’t peaceful, I’m going [...]

Korean as I am, I’m not very Korean. I didn’t learn the language, so all my relatives call me “stupid” in Korean. I don’t even know how to spell “stupid” in Korean– something like “pa-bow.” (Note: 9/27/09 – I have been learning Korean the past year. Not good at it but [...]

Cindy Crawford is a very smart supermodel. Is that an oxymoron? She married Richard Gere: smart Hollywood move. She was the #1 paid human mannequin. (I would love to be paid $10,000 to walk down a runway in underwear– ummm, let me think about that more.)
She endorsed many products to make millions of [...]

“Step on a crack, Break your mother’s back.” You know, just because something rhymes doesn’t mean it makes sense. I’ll tell you what will break your mother’s back: moving back into her house– when you’re 40 years old! Okay, more likely osteoporosis will break your mother’s (or father’s) back, but what is the deal [...]
Do you have a lead foot? My brother and I learned to drive in rural Ohio from parents who used to drive in New York City. So we didn’t have just lead in our feet. We had lead, uranium, titanium, and Rush Limbaugh’s gigantically obscene belly in our feet. Imagine the terror we created [...]

“Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” is an interesting song. Maybe opponents of End of Life (EOL) counseling should use that melody for “Pull the plug on my dear old grandma.” Hmm, something tells me no one will be singing that song during Christmas.
And I don’t think Rudolph would intentionally run over [...]

Sex is such an interesting topic. There are talk shows solely about sex. I remember in ninth grade we had sex education in my little uber-conservative hometown. I was shocked they offered it. Most folks in my hometown believed babies came from a stork. Our very nice physical education teacher did a great job [...]

Male sexual dysfunction starts at age 40 and gets worse each decade. Erectile dysfunction occurs 47% of men 55 or older. ED is 40% in men who are 40.
Conjunction junction, Erectile dysfunction.” I don’t think my changing the lyrics of this School House Rock song would go over very well. I think Superhero Verb [...]

Suffocating personalities. I’m sure you know some people who choke the life out of you. They stop by your house without notice, and then expect you to feed them. Phone calls after 10pm and voice mails: “Hi, why haven’t you returned any of my 15 calls today?”
You’re always at fault, and they’re perfect, [...]

Medicare D is a prescription program for those with Medicare B or who are eligible for Medicare A. Most of my patients who have Medicare D are dissatisfied. And in 2008 they introduced the stupid Donut Hole. Ugh. Medicare Part D 2007:
Some senior citizens suffer. My parents are in their [...]
AARP Magazine named Charlottesville to be one of the top ten healthiest cities to live. I believe it because there are 10 billion healthcare providers here! C’ville ranks 4th among US metropolitan areas in the number of doctors per capita. So if you are a shopper, C’ville is like northern Virginia’s Tysons Galleria [...]
Falling and tripping make a lot of people laugh– until it happens to them.
I don’t know why people laugh when they see others get hurt, like on that show America’s Funniest Home Videos. I refuse to watch it because I don’t understand what’s so funny about seeing someone hit the ground. As a [...]
