Common Side Effect:
Quinolones, a new class of bacteria fighting antibiotics can reap havoc on your tendons. This should not be a first line medication but if others fail or culture results show only they can kill the bacterial infection you have. All medications have the potential to cause negative effects on our bodies. With use of these antibiotics, incidence of tendinitis is increased 3-4 times. FYI- some folks bastardize the medical term and say ‘tendonitis’! Listen Up on iTunes to DocHandal and find out which ones and more about this side effect DocHandal

The Art of Medicine
Posted by Admin in Adult Medical Sense, Podcasts on December 7, 2011
docHandal is off to lecture medical students and mid level medical professionals Dec. 14th. Even though you would not be there have a look at her presentation. Posted for public on iWorks and have a look at her notes for the lecture under Adult Medical Common Sense. Trying to teach young medical folks the humanity of treating another hurting human being and not seeing them as ‘facticity’ . Important is not just the ability to diagnose and write prescriptions but understanding, caring and patience is needed. What SHOULD young medical types have in their cache, that is their strong-box? Remember as you read this article, DocHandal is sharing her notes, this is not in essay form. As you can image humor will be interwoven!
Truth in Health Care Matters
Posted by Admin in Adult Medical Sense, Podcasts on December 4, 2011
Not from a moral nor an ideological perspective this week’s podcast (iTunes) deals with why it is critical to tell medical personnel the truth. Examples of critical judgment and care are made based on evidence you offer caregivers. It works both ways-we expect that doctors and others we entrust our bodies to are telling us the truth.
