The Doctors 3/9/12 Live Recap: Weird Body Parts
The Doctors team feature body parts that are usually seen as weird and really don’t seem to do much… on the onset. That thing that’s hanging at the back of your throat that you always thought were your tonsils… is not your tonsils. You might have heard this somewhere before and it’s called uvula. What you might not have heard is what it’s for. Be thankful for it because it actually allows food to go through the right passage in our throat to our stomach. Without it, food might go down your windpipe or out of your nose. Moving on…
The Doctors 3/8/12 Live Recap: Sagging, Shifting and Shaking
This episode of The Doctors talk about Sagging, Shifting and Shaking body parts… and other things capable of doing exactly those. The show starts today with a more serious tone by featuring a topic that we take seriously — our kids’ safety. School buses, Dr. Stork says, is generally seven times safer than any form of land utility vehicles; but amidst this fact, they are still subject to accidents like fire and collision with other forms of vehicles. You can’t help when these kinds of situations happen but educating your child what to do makes a great difference. When accidents…
The Doctors 3/7/12 Live Recap: Serious Symptoms
I’m sure The Doctors doesn’t want to scare you by talking about the seemingly less serious signs and symptoms that might actually be signs of something more serous like heart diseases or cancer… but our team is talking about them anyway. Hold your breaths and pay attention! *sweats* Opening the episode is an ice breaker that tells us that most people are not aware that there are almost 60 different kinds of doctors who specialize in different medical specialties. One of the kind of doctor that the episode lets me remember (and for good reason, I guess) is an otolaryngologist….
The Doctors 3/6/12 Live Recap: New Treatments
This episode of The Doctors talks about the newest treatments for age-old and new illnesses. Opening the episode is a new a male birth-control method. Ultrasounds are found to not only be useful in making sure that your baby-on-the-way is healthy; it may also help reduce sperm count and sperm mobility. Although this sounds like an easy treatment, our team discuss the potential dangers of it like possible gene mutation. Dr. Lisa even points out that the procedure has been performed only on rats, which, she points out, have smaller testicles (meaning easier ultrasound administration). We also break the myth that…
The Doctors 3/5/12 Live Recap: Deadly Personality Traits
Dr. Stork gets down to business from the very start of the show and asks, “can your personality kill you?” Horrifyingly, yes it can. According to survey, men are more likely to die because of stubbornness and I’m not talking about laying off the meat on the grill. We’re talking about the usual machismo that compels us guys to not go to the doctor even if there we feel certain pains, signs or symptoms of illness. It’s not that we’re hardwired to be self-destructive. It’s just that we’re more optimistic — thinking it’ll all go away. Guess what, bro, it’s time to knock…
