Question 4

i need to find a dr that treats chronic lyme that takes insurance in the nyc area. can you please help?

Accepted Answer

See details: Many doctor, including myself, strongly believe the there is no such thing as chronic Lyme disease. Beware of anyone who wants to treat with long term antibiotics. Studies have shown that is worthless and dangerous. See an infectious disease specialist.

Question 5

what to do if unvaccinated kitten (4 months) bites you some blood came out. it lives indoors but spends time outside in a yard in nyc?

Accepted Answer

Contact health dept.: In the US regional health departments keep rabies surveillance (wild animals) information to help focus their efforts. When there is none in the area they relax &amp; if it picks up they vaccinate more. This type of exposure sounds too minimal to worry, but a call to your local health department can clarify any regional data to support not getting a vaccine.

Question 6

i registered with the nyu hospital to access my records online, i was sent a temporary password but do not know what to use as username. ?

Accepted Answer

Accessing records: As long as your password is very secure, u can use any password u wish (especially one that's easy to remember) unless the hospital has specific requirements for user names. Often, your e-mail address is acceptable. Check with hospital if they have specific requirements for user names. And make certain your password is very secure.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

High risk nursery: Nicu stands for neonatal intensive care unit. It is where the high risk babies go to get their specialized care.  Babies in the nicu are most likely preterm but any baby that is having difficulty could end up in the nicu.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: Generally the healthcare providers in the nicu want to promote breastfeeding and breastmilk intake for your baby.  However there are some medical conditions in which a baby cannot feed as normal. Ask your doctors and nurses specifically about feeding and clearly express your wishes.

Question 9

will i be able to hold my baby in the nicu?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Except for extremely fragile babies, and outside the times when the nurses or doctors need to work on your baby, practically all nicus allow parents to hold their babies under supervision of the staff.

Question 10

why is my baby being taken to nicu away from me?

Accepted Answer

For specialized care: The nicu (newborn intensive care unit) is a specialized area in the hospital where newborns with medical needs are cared for. Babies born too early, those who are very sick, and those needing surgery can be taken care of in a nicu. Neonatologists, pediatricians with extra training, are the doctors who work in the nicu. Hopefully you can visit you baby soon, and they don't have to stay too long.
