The definition of the word romance in most dictionaries, including the mother-of-them-all Oxford English Dictionary, includes the statement “a love affair.” In real life, however, the word romance means entirely different things to men and women but there is probably some common ground here. I think that Robert Frost best summarized what we would all […]
Do you find it hard to think at 30,000 feet if you are not on an airplane? “Think broadly and ambitiously and leave your pet projects at the door.” That was our charge as invited guests of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) this week for their visioning process for the future of healthcare in […]
They called again and want to talk. Similar to a strict parent who gives you little clue as to where they stand, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) wants to have a conversation. I said: “Yes, absolutely.” The NIH is nation’s power player in healthcare research. In 2010 it spent $32 billion or about $100 […]
Here’s a good question: “How old is sex?” You know, the old birds and the bees-type hooking up. Recently, some fossil finds have given us great clues as to the age of intercourse, the conception of copulation, the dawning of the dirty deed. You might have trouble even imagining your parents or grandparents having sex, but […]
“I want the holiday card with three of you on it” is what I tell my infertile patients at our first meeting in the office. Even if that visit occurs in February. In fact, this sums up much of what I think about infertility care: The solution to infertility is a path that may take […]
What drives pregnancy rates after vasectomy reversal? Lots of things. The judgment and skill of the surgeon are critical as not all surgeons are the same. Two operations are possible during reversal surgery (vasovasostomy or epididymovasostomy) and choosing the correct one for each side of each patient involves deft surgical judgment. After the type of […]
It is hilarious and it happened again recently. I had just finished his quick and painless no scalpel vasectomy and was about to hand him his signed “diploma” (really) for “meritorious performance and uncommon bravery” when he said it. Just as the others had said it, with that screechy, high-pitched, Vienna Boy’s Choir voice: “Nice […]
As President of the Northern California Urology Society, I held an interesting event in my office this week. I post it here because what I learned from it could apply to all of us in some small way. It was an event meant to highlight the idea of mentors in our lives. Titled “Inside the […]
Honestly, I have a lot to be thankful for in November. A wedding anniversary, the birthdays of both daughters, and a restful holiday all in one month. Seeing the chocolate covered smiles on my young daughters as they inhaled birthday cake recently reminded me of something: My work involves turning men into fathers every day. […]
Admittedly, he was an unusual patient. It was not only his generous size (2700 lb) but also his lack of clear speech in any discernable language that distinguished him from others I’ve treated. But, like most other men (80%), he had a great idea of what to do to conceive, but had the timing all […]
