Question 1

my doc ordered a colonoscopy for me since i am over 50. can anyone give me the real 411 on this procedure?

Accepted Answer

Colonoscopy 411: The importance of colonoscopy is to screen for colo-rectal cancer, the #3 most common cause of cancer death in both men and women in america. The procedure is started by giving you some sedation to put you almost to sleep. A small camera is then inserted into your anus and snaked up your colon and photographs and (if needed) samples are collected. Not nearly as bad as it sounds.

Question 2

hi doctors, can you tell me what is phenypon, it was ordered on a blood test but i don't know what it actually tests for?

Accepted Answer

Medication: It is a medication that we monitor its blood level.

Question 3

the doctors ordered pulimcort200mcg instead of flovent125mcg. is it o.k for my 10 year old who has eosonphillic esophagitis or should i get itchanged?

Accepted Answer

It's OK: They are both steroids and the doses are comparable, so i would not fret getting one over the other. The Pulmicort should work fine if the Flovent was helping.

Question 4

the doctor ordered 100 mg of methylprednisolone. what is this for?

Accepted Answer

It is a corticostero: It is a corticosteroid and is used  for a variety of medical conditions. you need to ask your  doctor  why  this is prescribed, what are  the side  effects - short  term but also long term side effects.

Question 5

are you doctors real?

Accepted Answer

After: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, a one year internship and 3 year residency - yes, real.

Question 6

what are my network doctors?

Accepted Answer

Try looking online: Years ago, listings were available only in printed form. By the turn of the century, lists had become available online everywhere. Now, some lists are only online, and no longer printed. County medical societies (or other local medical societies), hospitals, and insurance companies usually list doctors by name, specialty group, insurance plans (network), and location.

Question 7

what is the best of doctors?

Accepted Answer

Interesting question: But unanswerable. Are you asking about a specialty that is better than others or about how to find best doctors in a specific specialty?
