How do you react when you are pinned against the wall by the unknown? Do you freeze? Succumb? Invigorate? I find that I get very calm and very creative. Going where no one’s been before feels atmospheric to me. And it’s where I do some of my best thinking. Fertility from Sterility Two decades ago, […]

The following case is an actual patient from The Turek Clinic: After having 3 kids in 5 years, the patient was more than ready to have his tubes tied. So, he did, by a colleague, and he did quite well thank you…for a while. “The procedure seemed to go OK, Doc, but lately my balls […]

Maybe it’s the way I’m built, but I tend to focus on the big picture whenever possible. I think it was Confucius who said: “A lion chased me up a tree, and I greatly enjoyed the view from the top.” Second that. Although I am caught up in the nitty gritty of daily medical practice, […]
I’m not sure exactly why, but I see a lot of men with “older” (>15 year old) vasectomies who want them reversed. It’s a daily occurrence. Sure, I have published and lectured on this topic, but I think patients also sense that I have a particular interest in these more complex cases. They fall smack […]
