General Health Topic - Medical ID Cards

Hello Everyone,

In a previous post I stressed the importance of EVERYONE carrying in their wallet or in their purse a copy of their medication lists and other important medical information.

Here is a link you can use to generate a FREE medical ID card that has your medical conditions, medications, physician information that you can carry with you at all times.

If your spouse, significant other, children or other people in your care are on multiple medications, you should also carry a copy of their medical information as well. I have seen many occasions where a person will present to an emergency room, unable to speak and the family member that is with them does not know the medications the person is taking.

Please take a few minutes to enter in the information and generate an ID card for yourself and loved ones.

Thanks,

Dr. Paul

General Health Topic - New System to Eliminate Tattoos

Hello Everyone,

A tattoo is forever. Or is it? At one of the hospitals where I work, on one Saturday per month, they host a tattoo removal clinic. Several practitioners donate their time and equipment to perform laser tattoo removal.

This clinic is "PACKED"!!!. There are so many people that are enduring this painful procedure to have their tattoo removed. I suppose that they wish that their tattoo wasn't so permanent.

Check out this new system that has been developed to fade tattoos without the use of painful lasers.



If anyone tries it out, please let me know the results.

Thanks,

Dr. Paul
