When I leave the operating room after vasectomy reversal microsurgery, I thank the staff for all their help and often compliment them on a “great performance.” Because that’s what complex microsurgery really is, <a href="http://www.theturekclinic.com/the-symphony-of-surgery/ A Team Sport Surgery is like a symphony. As the surgeon, I am both the conductor and first violin, directing […]
When was your last “Aha Dozing in Flight I was taking a late evening flight across the country from Washington DC to San Francisco, trying to get some shut eye before seeing patients early the next morning. Given how hard it is for me to sleep on planes, it felt great when I actually dozed […]
You will never guess what the CDC recently revealed about single American men in the US. Recall that this federal agency monitors and prevents the outbreak of disease, from influenza to Zika, and maintains nationwide health statistics. They do good work and, like me, are keenly interested in men’s health. I applaud them. So what […]
Blocked and Baffled I was very moved this week by the decision-making prowess revealed by three couples I cared for. They all wanted children. All three men had older vasectomies, ranging from 20 to 30 years of age (that’s the vasectomy age, not the guys’ ages!). They had seen at least two urologists apiece before […]
You know who Charles Darwin is, right? One seriously influential figure in human history, Darwin’s famous natural selection theory is an easily digestible way to explain evolution. Makes sense: giraffes with longer necks can reach higher into trees to eat and survive. Advantage passed on to long-necked offspring. And so on, until poof! You have […]
Has the world got you in a tizzy? Has the economy, politics, terrorism, the threat of war, quartet of killer hurricanes, and now violence in Vegas rattled your cage? Even without the icy coating of current events, about ¼ of Americans feel extreme stress in any given month. Welcome to humanity. But stress is a […]
The Case of the Month is an actual patient of Dr. Turek. In my life and work, I have always believed in the mantra of the modernist architect Mies van der Rohe that “less is more”. However, as a card-carrying member of the real world, my mantra is really “less can be more.” Especially when […]
It’s been a tough time lately for advocates of a popular blood test used to help diagnose prostate cancer. It’s called a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test. First, the Feds trashed the PSA test, giving it a “D” grade for prostate cancer screening. In a mea culpa response, urologists admitted that we could improve the way […]
It’s amazing how a simple sperm count became a full-on, prime time “Sperm War.” I was asked to speak on Shade 45, Eminem’s SiriusXM channel, about the hullabaloo concerning the claim that What struck me most while on the show was the palpable anxiety amongst the DJs and callers on this issue. I had each […]
I grew up practicing Western medicine. However, I now teach <a href="http://www.theturekclinic.com/to-sir-with-love/ For sure, there are fundamental differences between Eastern and Western medicine. Western medicine is based on deductive reasoning or “top-down” logic in which assumed general truths lead to specific conclusions. For example, Aristotle used such reasoning when he said: “All men are mortal. […]
