In 2003, Congress passed the Medicare Modernization Act to pay for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. For the last 18 years, since 2003 Medicare has cut payments to doctors year over year. However, inflation has grown 2-3 percent year over year. We are at a crossroads where inflation is approximately 6-10% this year for medical practices. With inflation being 6-10%, Medicare wants to cut from 9%-20% from physicians again. So we are looking at 30% hit to our bottom lines after 18 years of payment cuts and inflation. What does this mean to you? Solo providers and small group providers will go out of business. Doctors will retire early. Doctors will return to their home countries. The remaining doctors will lose their will to hustle. They will lose the sense of urgency as we rapidly transition to socialized medicine. Year over year, Medicare patients will be transitioned from physicians to nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Please let Congress know that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have stopped and to immediately stop the Medicare cuts.

October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer affects both men and women, although according to the American Cancer Society men are about 100 times less likely than women to get breast cancer. About 2600 men will get breast cancer this year while breast cancer will affect 246,660 women this year. Breast cancer diagnoses account for about one third of all cancer diagnoses in women.

Prevention and early diagnosis are key to treating this disease and having a good outcome.

If you feel a breast mass or abnormality as seen on the lemon picture above, you should talk to your physician as soon as possible. Many breast abnormalities are not cancerous but a mass or abnormal drainage still deserves adequate investigation. This starts with a physical exam followed by radiologic tests such as ultrasound, mammography, and possibly a MRI. Depending on the results the mass can be totally excised or biopsied with a small needle. Only pathology can tell if a mass is cancerous or not, although radiographic findings are often suggestive.

Spider Veins? Varicose veins? When people think of spider veins, images of unattractive, prominent veins on their legs pop in their minds. What most people don’t know is that spider veins are due to diseased valves in the superficial veins that allow blood to move both ways causing an increased in pressure in the vein, which makes them prominent in your legs. Normally, the valves in veins push blood in one direction, which is back to your heart.There are many factors that contribute to the creation of spider veins like genetics, poor vessel elasticity, trauma, pregnancy, certain medical conditions, and standing for long periods of time. While most patients are asymptomatic, some patients can experience symptoms like itching, pain, swelling, hair loss, and skin ulceration. One treatment option that is highly effective is Sclerotherapy. During this procedure, a solution is injected into the diseased vein, which causes it to contract and collapse; this will stop the blood from flowing in these veins.
