Hair follicle drug testing, does shaving your head after a period of sobriety get rid of “the dirty hair”?
Congratulations on your decision to be clean. This is a great step forward. However with reference to your test as you already stated the hair follicle shows thc in the system for 90 days and therefore I don’t recommend that you shave your head because other body hair would show thc as well. As a professional I recommend honesty at all times and in this situation I think is best if you either delay the interview or simply tell the truth to the interviewer regarding the thc that the test will show. Best of luck to you ! Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE

Do my symptoms sound serious?
Good morning, First of all, you are quite stressed. Being under all the stress you are experiencing affects the body similarly to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Your first task right now is to calm down and relax. Meditation or prayer for many of my patients have a very calming affect. Going for a little walk outside can help also. I don’t recommend watching news or suspenseful television programs when you are needing stress relief. I believe many of your symptoms could be related to all this stress. You are going to need to see your PCP. A PCP is a specialist in evaluating complex sets of symptoms and referring their patients to various medical specialists for further evaluations or sometimes order tests to narrow down and eliminate possible medical conditions. Many of my patients come to my office with just this kind of anxiety. As they share their concerns they often begin to feel a little better from just unburdening their minds from all their worries. Many have been spending lots of time searching for their symptoms on the internet and imagine that they are suffering from dreadful diseases. This compounds their stress. Your PCP should be able to see you within a day or two. Your body gives you symptoms to let you know that something is happening in your body that needs your help. And don’t forget that the mind is also a part of your body. Your PCP may find that your symptoms indicate that you need to see a counselor to help you think differently about one or more things in your life. I have often seen patients with severe physical symptoms find that their issues quickly improve after seeing a Psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors. I recommend that your make seeing your PCP priority 1 for this week! Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
Feeling abnormal?
I think it could be related to the conditions you have, but definitely I recommend you to see your PCP for further evaluation. I hope you feel better soon! Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
Need a doctor?
I’m sorry to hear that, it must be very hard for you, I think it will be a good idea to apply for Medicaid in your area and see an urologist to check for inguinal hernia Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
Poison Ivy in my mouth and throat?
You can use Benadryl (oral antihistamines) and topical calamine or cortisone cream. I hope You feel better soon! Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
Is inguinal hernia surgery serious?
Inguinal hernia repair is a very common procedure, usually is done on an outpatient basis. Don’t worry! everything will be ok in your surgery Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
I think I have a positive tb test?
Sometimes the tb test can be positive for other reasons, just go to your doctor and ask for a chest X ray Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
Can IV fluids be responsible for vital numbers?
IV fluids are very important to hydrate patients, and improve their vital signs if the reason of their health problems are related to dehydration. They are also important when the patient is in a hospital setting and need to receive IV medications Thank you , Luz A López , md Ohana Kids & Family Kare READ MORE
Can a doctor cancel an appt without an explanation?
