Question 1

hi i live in new york (brooklyn). percent of people testing positive for coronavirus is reported to be 2 percent. does this lower percentage make it any  ""safer"" to do indoor dining or have smaller group gatherings? is there a certain safe percent?

Accepted Answer

COVID 19:  A lower percentage does make it "safer" in general. However, all it takes is one COVID positive individual sneezing or coughing in your direction and you can become infected.  The word "safe" is relative when it comes to COVID 19. I think that to be truely safe, there will need to be an effective vaccine with a high percentage of the population being vaccinated.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

So many : Great doctors are available in brooklyn  to treat you , first start with your own family physician , if needed will refer you to appropriate specialist, don't worry most of the doctors will accept your hip  coverage . Good luck.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

PossibleUTI: Ir may be a urinary infection. To start have your urine checked. It has nothing to do with brooklyn, ny.

Question 4

hi doctors.i live in brooklyn and i need follicle monitoring ultrasound tomorrow.could u recomend clinic in which i can do it without doctor's refer?

Accepted Answer

No: Almost all reputable clinics require a doctor's order so someone is managing the results and a doctor's order and a doctor to receive the results are necessary for insurance reimbursement

Question 5

53 year old male has facial and hand twitch tics at the same times when overly excited, its most intense when anticipating intimacy. what are possible causes? i need ideas of what it could be to convince him to see a dr?

Accepted Answer

: Would classify within a "movement disorder".  Could represent a compensated essential tremor, a forme-fruste of Tourette's, or even paroxysmal chores-athetosis, amongst some thoughts.  Unlikely to be a profound problem, but could be treated and controlled with contemporary medications.

Question 6

hi my 3 year old fell at school and hit his head on the floor. left nostril was bleeding. theres no bumps yet just bruising. nose stop bleeding. teacher said he was fine he is napping now though. should i take him to dr?

Accepted Answer

Head trauma: Just need to observe x 1-2 days. Emesis, head pain or swelling or a change in
alert status warrants an MD visit. Otherwise, rest, Tylenol for pain or fever,
and observe at home. Glad the nosebleed stopped quickly, common in kids in general.

Question 7

how is the dr oz diet?

Accepted Answer

: It is a good diet which you can do on your own as well. What you would have to eat is low dairy fat, low-fat animal protein, fish, plenty of fiber with fruits, vegetables and whole grains. I typically recommend also low gluten in a diet. Basically, it is just eating healthy, buying fresh food and not processed or packaged food and always low fat with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Question 8

hi dr. need to rise my wight?

Accepted Answer

See below: In order to increase your weight you must eat or drink more calories daily than you burn up. But you don't want just more fat on the body so it's important to build muscle also. In order to do this you increase the amount of food you eat daily. Follow a mediterranean type diet and start a strength training muscle building program.
