Two Men and a Doc

The Doc, GB and JT are back with a brand new episode and it's quite a story The Doc has saved up for us. The Doc takes us through a harrowing experience where he's called into being part of a trauma team and forced to make split-second decisions in the OR to help a guy who's suffered multiple serious injuries.

On this action-packed episode The Doc explains how he would repair a guy with one too many 'pee holes,' we test Chat GPT's ability to diagnose a patient by giving it a few symptoms and test results (and hear The Doc's thoughts on the impact of AI on treating patients), and chronic UTI's are discussed - what can cause them and how to prevent them in the future.

The Doc gives us the update from Episode 81 regarding how they were able to finally treat the patient with prostate bleeding, then the guys talk about when and why should you check your testosterone levels and why the results can be far from conclusive.

The Doc is called in to treat a patient with what appears to be a relatively standard set of symptoms but the initial treatment doesn't solve the issue and the case gets progressively more complicated with each passing day.  Other doctors are consulted and treatments considered as this seemingly common case becomes highly unusual and difficult to solve. Write us at:   mail@twomenandadoc....

The Doc is in the middle of performing a procedure in the OR when he figures out something isn't right...or to be more specific, something isn't wrong.  We talk about the upsides and downsides of tele-health.  Plus, The Doc explains why he doesn't quite agree with everything in an article in the NY Times about when and why people usually see a urologist. NY Times article is here . Write...

The Doc gives his opinion on getting a second opinion as well as being asked to give one.   Plus, the surprising but effective treatment of the common and chronic condition of an over-active bladder.   Check out The Doc on the You Tube show Great Mythical Morning.  He had the guys in stitches (literally) - his segment starts at the 15:40 mark.   https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The Doc breaks down the many issues a patient is dealing with after they were in an accident and suffered nerve damage at the base of their spine.  We hear about how this impacts the patient's life and the choices and difficult decisions The Doc presents him to potentially help improve some of the symptoms of the injury.  Plus The Doc shares his thoughts on the current state of the busin...

"The things people do," the nurse said to the Doc when they were discussing the man who had recently come into the OR.  Let's just say he had put something on and couldn't get it off... for 4 days.  That's when The Doc got the call.  Turns out this was no easy task.  The Doc takes us through it (and unfortunately for us shows us some pictures). Definitely send us your questions...

Fertility issues are usually associated with the female but when the issue might be with the man they come to The Doc to find out why.  The Doc gives us the basics of the different possible reasons for male infertility and then gets into a very unusual case where he had to figure out why his patient had a zero sperm count, and how he helped him.

The Doc takes us through two times when a new, more cutting edge approach may not always be better or more effective, and the side effects might be a deal-breaker.

The Doc sees a patient in the ER with blood in their urine.  Since this can be for a multitude of reasons The Doc starts down the diagnostic path trying find the cause of the bleeding.  Ultimately the reason becomes obvious and the treatment is swift but the lesson of this case is loud and clear - if something isn't right, seek out treatment.

There's never a dull moment when The Doc is on call at two hospitals.  This week he takes us through two cases.  The first is an early morning call from a patient in the ER with a torsion, or twisted testicle.  Should The Doc rush over there or was it too late?  Then he gets a call about a 93 year-old woman with a potentially fatal condition that is easily treated with a standa...

Conclusion to the two-part episode about the causes and treatments for different types of incontinence, with a focus on how The Doc diagnosed and treated a female patient recently who had been dealing with this uncomfortable condition for years. Many women suffer (often silently) with incontinence.  It can range from annoying to debilitating and can happen for a variety of reasons.  The...

Many women suffer (often silently) with incontinence.  It can range from annoying to debilitating and can happen for a variety of reasons.  The Doc discusses this common condition and a recent case that caused his patient to break down in tears just talking about it.   Write us at:   mail@twomenandadoc.com   twitter: @twomenandadoc Got a minute?  Rate and review us on...

The Doc sees a patient in the hospital who had a chronic condition that's gone untreated for two months.  After doing a series of tests The Doc figures out what's going on and a major 6+ hour surgery with multiple specialists takes place within 24 hours.   We would love to hear from you.  Send us your questions and comments at mail@twomenandadoc.com   twitter: @twomenandadoc Go...

Follow ups from two recent cases - an update about The Doc's son uncovers more questions; and from Episode 59 where we last knew an infection in an older man was caused by a fistula from the intestine, but were waiting to find out the biopsy results.  Then a new case - an 18 year-old comes in with severe groin pain that seemed to come out of nowhere.  After a lot of research and question...

The conclusion to The Doc's emotional and exhausting journey to figure out the cause of his son's weeks long illness, labeled a 'fever of unknown origin' until a more specific diagnosis can be made.   If you haven't already, listen to Part 1 (episode 65) before listening to this episode for full context.   The Doc takes us through his son's recent illness and the harrowing string of even...

This week's episode hits very close to home as The Doc takes us through his son's recent illness and the harrowing string of events that occurred as a team of doctors on two coasts tried to figure the cause and treatment.  It also brought up the inevitable crossroad of being a doctor and parent and how The Doc had to navigate those two roles, sometimes realizing he needed to let the doctors d...

Two Men and a Doc is on a short break so here's an episode from exactly 1 year ago.  We were just over 2 weeks into the shutdown, trying to adjust to our new normal while we pondered the many unknowns in our near future.  It's an interesting snapshot of what we were all going through a year ago and the conversations we were having.  Listen in to hear what we got right, what we got w...

A patient with a medical history so long he can't even remember it all comes in with a serious issue that has The Doc a bit in the dark and searching for answers.  Of course he figures it out and he tells us how he did it.
