I have often said, “I would be in great shape if it was not for this skeleton of mine.” When you think about it, our average lifespan has increased a whopping 80% in the last 100 years. However, our musculoskeletal system has not had enough time to adapt and catch up. In other words, from […]

I believe Oscar Wilde was the first to be credited with the saying, “everything in moderation, including moderation.” Whether talking about exercise or diet, consistency, diversity, and moderation are the keys to success. However, moderation can have its issues. First of all, the definition of moderation is always moving. The best example is the variability […]
If you’ve ever experienced a urinary tract infection, you know just how painful it can be if left untreated. The most common symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) include an urgent need to urinate and pain while urinating. More severe symptoms include fever and lower back pain.

Many people think that if you exercise, you can eat whatever you want. Even though your daily caloric requirement will increase, attention to diet is necessary in order to meet your exercise and fitness goals.

As a physician, I am entrusted with the future well-being of my patients. The only greater privilege than tending to my patients is that of being a parent. In fact, there are many parallels between the two roles. Both improve with experience. Both require a heightened insight into others. Both respond best to leading by […]

We continue our look at special technical considerations of robotic and laparoscopic surgery, particularly as they differ from open-incision surgery. As we discussed last month, robotic surgery is merely a type of laparoscopic surgery, sharing the same principles and potential pitfalls. This month we will focus on ergonomics. Whatever improves the surgeon’s experience can often […]

Adequate warm-up, regular stretching, and proper technique will help ward off the dreaded injury. However, despite our best efforts, the question is not “if” but rather “when” an injury will occur. Exercise-related injuries can occur as a result of chronic overuse or as a result of an acute (sudden) event. Allowing these events to push […]
I love Atlanta, but I could do fine without the traffic. Recently I was stuck in a not-so-uncommon traffic jam. Rather than succumbing to complete frustration, I used this extra “alone time” for productive thinking. Interestingly, I discovered a lot of parallels between traffic behavior and the inner workings of our bodies. How often have […]

Believe it or not, Kegel excercises have been around long before reality TV and women’s magazines brought the practice to the forefront of pop culture. In fact, doctors have been recommending Kegel exercises to patients – both male and female – for years due to the health benefits they provide. As follows are the answers […]
