The Flu Vaccine. It’s Time to Get Yours

September 22, 2011adminGeneral Health1

Flu VaccineFlu vaccines began shipping in August. Your internist, pediatrician and some local health departments and pharmacies will offer flu vaccines this season. There is also a handy tool by the government at Flu.gov to help you locate community providers in your area.

The flu vaccine is appropriate for those patients 6-months or older.

If your child has an allergy to eggs (one of ours does), remind your pediatrician and he or she will guide you to the best policy for providing the vaccine to that child.

Botox Pain

Botox is an old medicine which has made a splash over the last several years for its rejuvenating powers. Botox works beautifully to reduce facial lines and wrinkles, but many patients, and some doctors, do not realize the drug’s use in treatments to reduce or eliminate pain. Botox and a competitor to Botox, Xeomin, can be used to treat certain pain syndromes: chronic migraines, Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), severe neck spasm, Blepharospasm (twitching of the eyelids), and herepetic neuralgia (shingles).

Dr. Kulik’s Medical Philosophy

Good medicine is about trust; it’s about loyalty and relationships. My patients know that whatever it takes, my job is to be an advocate for them. Sometimes, this means listening for an hour (and at times, listening about a medical issue that has nothing to do with the eyes because all information is relevant when it comes to health); sometimes it means making a house call; and, sometimes it means getting on a telephone and fighting for a procedure (If this doesn’t work, it often means eating the Baked Ziti that was my payment for the procedure). In a sentence, I suppose I am a hometown doctor practicing modern medicine in a very busy world.
