I can’t lie, the practice of medicine is equal parts magical and maddening. The small town doc used to understand that his/her battle was not simply against disease. It was also against a patient’s stubbornness and sometimes against a person likely named “MeeMaw” and her “medical advice” that would always trump yours, no matter how high the stack of medical studies that say different may be. *And Lord be with you, if you ever contradict ANYTHING regarding how one handles pregnancy or how to raise a child. You’ll get ran out of town with pitchforks if you contradict a MeeMaw on these topics!
Now, we have a new enemy. The information age, with all it’s wonder, brings a wealth of misinformation and shiny confabulation that now stand in between a doctor and helping a patient. Some of this is driven by our new false sense of the “truth” always being told on the internet and some of it is money driven. Hard times bring hard decisions. And a free internet self-diagnosis is much cheaper than seeing ole Dr. Kirk, I get that. All I can do is simply remind y’all that internet revenue is generated by clicks, likes, shares and interaction. Think: boring, non-exciting information doesn’t do this well. So, if you type in “four legs, gallops and eats hay” isn’t it more exciting to tell you it’s a zebra instead of a boring ole horse? Keep that in mind.
I digress and simply share a lesson from my late father, Dr. Lu. He told me once that the practice of medicine is a game of numbers. You have you, the doctor, against the disease. Whether it be diabetes, obesity, smoking, heart disease, whatever. But this isn’t a one-on-one fight. There’s also the patient. If you and the patient make a diagnosis, a plan and embark on a treatment, intervention or life style change, that's TWO against one (The doctor teamed with the patient against the disease!). Numbers are in our favor. We’re gonna win! …but if the patient sides with the disease…”no, I don’t want to quit smoking” “No, I don’t want to find time to exercise.” “No, I want to keep putting butter on my mayonnaise” THAT is 2-against-1 the other way. Patient teams with the disease and is gonna win against the doctor. Daddy said our game is: 1) work to get the patient on your team and 2) lead that horse to water. The Great Physician takes it from there. Lord, guide me in this mission. And say “hey” to Daddy for me.
Friends, us physicians took an oath to do no harm. Can the internet folks say the same?
(by the way, my internet ads are all “what to feed a zebra” now.)
Yours in Health and Christ,
Dr. Kirk

I have a “suggestion box” for this column that’s a mile long. And this week’s topic is a LONG time coming. A sweet little girl at church has patiently waited for me to address her weekly question: “Dr. Kirk, what do I do about my eye boogers?!” (naturally, I immediately say “well, don’t eat em…” and she runs off giggling).
First off, let’s define what an “eye booger” is exactly. RHEUM (pronounced “room”), or eye matter, is a thin mucus that our body produces naturally in the eyes, nose and mouth. This mucus is used to trap particles, old skin cells, dirt/debris and oils that the body either produces, excretes or encounters. It also serves as a soothing lubricant when these tissues are irritated. Most of the time, we don’t notice this mucus, because by God’s design the eyes are naturally blinking and clearing this mucus. Think of it as having your wipers on. Every few seconds, the eyelids squeegee the windshield clear. That’s why we blink. God put our wipers on a low constant setting. While we are awake, this action USUALLY keeps rheum from building up. Sometimes, however, the build-up is too much to handle and an “eye booger” forms. Now, take the logic leap with me: notice I said “while we’re awake.” So, during the night, since the windshield wipers ain’t on, it’s no mystery why one might wake up “crusty” see? And seeing as we live in the Pollen Capital of the World, you may have certain times of the year that you are more boogery than others! If you have bad seasonal allergies, you may be the King Eye Bo**er of your land and rule with your royal warm rag. While I paint this gross mucus portrait for you, understand I am jesting about a wonderfully natural and helpful process to keep our eyes healthy.
So, should I “pick” my eye boogers, Dr. Kirk? Best not to. Remember, we are dealing with trapped waste particles, debris and/or germs, so smearing those things accidentally into delicate tear ducts and sensitive eyelash follicles is not a great idea. (plus, did you even wash your hands before you touched your eyes??? Always a no-no) The best solution is to use a clean, warm, damp napkin or cloth and gently remove boogers or crusties, as to not make MATTERs worse. See what I did, there? And yes, sudden excessive production of eye boogers may be a sign of infection, so get checked out if this occurs. Look, just don’t eat em. (Runs off giggling)
Yours in Health and Christ, Dr. Kirk

My cousin, Heidi Grace, was kind enough to draw a dry erase portrait of me. I gave her two chances. Nailed it. 😐

Two encounters combined to spark today’s Medical Minute: 1) a patient asking “write a piece telling my husband I don’t need to wash potatoes if I’m just gonna peel em” AND 2) my son recently warning me “be careful talking about fruits and vegetables these days. All emoji’s mean a part of the body now!” Great. The most annoying generation that’s ever existed now has me worried I’m offending someone with fruit. Lord, come get us.
First, let’s talk about skin. A favorite medical trivia question that pops up is “What is the largest organ in the human body?” The neat answer being “skin” as it serves amazing medical purposes and covers the most surface area - literally. Skin is God’s given deflector shield. My brothers and sisters in the biology world have surmised that germs live everywhere; even on us. But our deflector shield is constantly defending us. Germs can’t get in. …unless there’s a weakness in the shield somewhere! Cuts, scrapes, punctures and even burns are all compromises to the shield and germs find their way in! Hence, our hammering home the lesson of handwashing. Heck, washing in general. How all this pertains to today’s piece is now patent. When the skin is punctured (or peeled) the knife you are using just took the germs on the surface and drove them past the shield! Same goes for any time we purposefully puncture your peeling. Any of you with surgical experience recall having to scrub your body with a powerful anti-germ solution the night before? That’s why. We are reducing the chances of germs taking a ride on our scalpel. Salient but simple science, right?
So, let’s apply this logic to our question: sorry, your husband is correct. Washing things before you peel them is important. From farm to table there are many stops, starts and stays on that journey that have germ potential. Plus, whatever pesticides used to keep pesky pilferers from partaking of your produce. You may have heard of recent outbreaks in the United States of E.Coli and Salmonella, etc. One particular case was of cantaloupe. How did the germs get INTO the cantaloupe? They didn’t. Until you cut it without washing it and brought the surface germs past the shield! So…just like your night before surgery, let’s wash that skin before the scalpel comes. Yes, you need to wash your fruits and veggies before you cut into them.
So, how does all this apply to the SECOND point in my intro? Look, I ain’t getting into specifics on fruit emojis. Because I haven’t been cool in a long time and have no idea what’s what. Let’s just generally say “wash your fruits and vegetables.” Yes, your own personal peaches, eggplants, coconuts, apples, grapes whatever you kids are using to represent your body and making my use of emoji’s a now stressful event with my family members. Which reminds me, does anyone know a good pineapple doctor? I think I twisted mine.
Yours in Health and Christ,
Dr. Kirk
