Question 6

do you do gender selection insinamation ..i'm a previous patient of yours . you have delievered 2 of my daughters but my husband and i would like to plan a boy :-/?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: It's not nice to mess with Mother Nature.  Always decide if there is truly an overwhelmingly convincing reason to interfere with nature, before trying to do it. If there is no known genetic defect in the family genes that would create a mutation in either boys or girls, then we let nature decide whether the next baby will be a boy or girl. It's perfectly fine to have 3 girls in a row

Question 7

should a diabetic patient not eat whole wheat bread and to switch it with hummus bread for example?

Accepted Answer

: A diabetic can eat whole wheat bread, especially if they are taking their medicine. If there is concern about the blood sugar, the blood sugar can be checked a couple of hopes after eating it and see if it causes a blood sugar spike. If the bread is eaten with a protein or fat, this will decrease the potential blood sugar spike. You can see a dietician to discuss these foods. Good luck!

Question 8

when a cardiologist writes the term "rare" (for example: rare sinus pauses, or rare sve beats) in a report, do they mean rare as in 'not very common amongst the population' or rare as in 'not occurring in the patient very often'?

Accepted Answer

: This will depend on the Dr. To me rare means I have never seen it in 60 years of practice.

I would invest $20 at uptodate.com and read what the worlds leading medical reference has to say about it. What you want to know is how often does this occur in people like you: age, BMI, ethnicity, other illnesses, other meds etc.
