Dr. John Hong -- Real Medicine, Plain Talk -- Videos -- www.drjohnhong.com

Here are my most recent health segment videos (no karaoke vids or ice skating, but give me time!). We will be adding new videos every week.

Please sign up to receive announcements of our weekly topics here (and get a fun email each week from me!) . Also you please add me to your Video Podcasting on iTunes Maybe Oprah will finally have me as a guest if I get famous on it!

July 9, 2008: Salmonella are not Italian fish that swim upstream. It is a food poisoning bacterium. Nausea and vomiting and diarrhea, Oh, My! The video today is about food poisoning and what the common bad boys are. See Food Poisoning in Video section.

June 25, 2008 Why do people say if your ears are burning, then someone is talking about you? Maybe you have an external ear infection instead? Swimmer's Ear (otitis externa in medical jargon) occurs in more people than swimmers. See Swimmer's Ear Video below!

June 12, 2008 Male Sexual Dysfunction is a downer for most men....not just erectile dysfunction but low libido, less satisfaction with sex, and feeling dried up (less ejaculate). See the video who are more at risk in Male Sexual Dysfunction video

June 5, 2008: Bipolar Disorder (a.k.a. Manic Depressive Illness) is like a having a yo-yo of emotions: up and down, up and down. But also yo-yo tricks: around the world and more. See the video below on bipolar disorder that can reek havoc on many lives. Also there is UVA study for persons with bipolar disorder, but I don't endorse it. I'm just letting you know it is out there and you can learn more by clicking on their link: UVA Study.

March 8, 2008:Call me Dr. Oprah! Well, not really since Oprah never answers my emails...or knows who I am. Sigh. She has Dr. Oz who I believe is a surgeon, like Dr. Gupta is a surgeon. Why all the surgeons? They don't manage medical problems--they are surgeons! They cut...and ask questions later...if at all. So to my excitement, NBC29 asked me to host a medical talk show, "Meet the Doctors", and I want them to get me a live audience this year. Cross your fingers for me and please visit the website.
