My Answers

What can I do for high blood sugar levels?
In the short term, you need medication (likely oral meds) to help treat your high glucose levels. If the levels get too high, you can get sick and may require IV medication/insulin to treat. In the long term, you need to be very selective about your diet (monitor carbohydrates and sugar intake) and be sure you are exercising regularly. READ MORE
Is rectal bleeding after he surgery an emergency?
It certainly can be if it's large quantities of blood and you are symptomatic from blood loss (lightheaded, shortness of breath, chest pain, etc.). You need to follow up with your surgeon immediately to determine if the amount of bleeding you are having is normal post-op or not. READ MORE
Stiches
Good news! Removing stitches doesn't require needles and has minimal discomfort. You might feel a little tugging as the suture is lifted and then snipped to remove from the skin but nothing significant. Try visualizing the process to help decrease your anxiety before the sutures are removed. You'll do great. READ MORE
Cough runny nose pulled muscle
Consider getting a chest x-ray to be sure your pain isn't from a pneumonia causing irritation or from a rib you may have broken from coughing so hard. In the meantime, as long as your liver is healthy, take 1gm of Tylenol with your 600mg of Motrin every 6hrs as needed for pain. Also consider taking a decongestant to help with the runny nose causing the wet cough and a cough suppressant. READ MORE
Question re fluid resuscitation and heart failure in ear and procedure
This is a tricky question and patient. Sepsis protocols say treat with fluids and intubate to protect the airway. If the ER doc is great at POCUS (beside ultrasound), they can look at the lungs for B lines to see if they are fluid overloaded or the size of the IVC to determine fluid status. CVP can also be used to help determine if they are hyper/hypo/or euvolemic.. READ MORE
Am sick
Go get checked for flu, covid, and strep. Strep is a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics. With your history of asthma and complaints of trouble breathing, I’d be sure your lung sounds are ok. If you’re wheezing, you’ll need steroids and inhalers. Drink small amounts of fluids frequently, even popsicles count as fluid, so you don’t become dehydrated. READ MORE
What type of doctor should you see after a stroke?
After having a stroke, your friend should follow up with a neurologist. They are the brain specialists. READ MORE
When should I see a doctor for testicle pain?
Testicular pain should always be seen and evaluated quickly to rule out testicular torsion. If the pain is severe and continuous, you need to be evaluated ideally within 4-6hrs of the pain beginning. If the blood flow to the testicle is being restricted, you risk losing the testicle the longer you wait to be evaluated. Ritz XV, PLLC READ MORE
How should I treat sudden low blood pressure?
If you sense your blood pressure dropping (you feel lightheaded, vision is getting dark, hearing is distant, you feel sweaty), it’s best to get down (head lower than your heart) or lay down so you don’t pass out. Staying hydrated and eating salty products can help increase your blood pressure. Check with your doctor before increasing your salt intake. READ MORE
What is the first aid for stroke?
If you are having symptoms of a stroke (one sided weakness, loss of sensation, visual or speech abnormalities), the best thing you can do is call 911 and get to a hospital quickly. Strokes are much like heart attacks where the faster you receive an intervention, the better your chances are for a positive outcome. READ MORE
Do I have an std?
You need to be checked for STDs and can request HIV/Hepatitis testing as well. This can be done through your PCP, the State Department of Health, or Planned Parenthood. They may recommend repeat testing in a few months depending on the length of time from exposure until your testing and the type of testing performed. Remember, peace of mind is priceless. READ MORE
When is IBD an emergency?
If you are having severe abdominal pain (different from your norm) that can't be controlled with over-the-counter meds, you have uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhea that is causing dehydration, you are having fevers with your symptoms, or you are having profuse rectal bleeding or blood in your stool, you should seek an emergent evaluation for your symptoms. READ MORE
What can the ER do for an allergic reaction?
The emergency room can provide oral, IV, or intramuscular medications like Benadryl, steroids, Pepcid, and life-saving epinephrine depending on your symptoms to help treat the reactions from the allergy. If severe, the ER can also support your airway if breathing becomes difficult or help increase your blood pressure if you go into anaphylactic shock. READ MORE
Salmonella
While technically, the answer is yes, it would be considered a rare event. Utilize good handwashing and watch for any signs of infection. READ MORE
Complications after hernia surgery
Yes, you need to make an appointment with your surgeon to reevaluate the wound. You may have a wound infection or something worse brewing internally or under the skin. READ MORE
Hernia
Yes, it’s safe to fly with a hiatal hernia. Enjoy your trip! READ MORE
Red bump
Are you sexually active? If you are, the next questions would be, is it painful or painless? Painless we want to rule out syphilis and if it’s painful, we would consider testing for herpes. Your PCP or an STD clinic could certainly check you for these to be safe though results could take a few business days. READ MORE
Heavy menstrual bleeding
This is likely due to a hormone imbalance. Reach out to your gynecologist or PCP to prescribe you a hormone to help regulate. As you move from peri- menopause to full menopause this can be common. If you feel lightheaded or short of breath, you should have your blood levels checked to be sure you’re not having symptomatic anemia. READ MORE
Broken rib
At a minimum, you need a chest x-ray to be sure you do not have a collapsed lung that is caused by a rib fracture. A collapsed lung will make you feel short of breath. It can cause bigger problems too if it’s not treated. Depending on where your abdominal pain is, they may want to do more imaging like a CAT scan of your abdomen to rule out Interabdominal injury or bleeding. Please head to your nearest emergency room for treatment. READ MORE
Cut Concern
Redness along the border of a wound can be normal for healing. If the redness continues to spread, you have purulent drainage from the wound, or fevers, you should be seen and evaluated immediately for an infection. READ MORE

Get to know Emergency Physician Dr. T. Hayden Dietz, who serves patients in Texas.

Dr. Dietz is a board-certified emergency physician & aesthetics/regenerative medicine physician helping individuals to age gracefully and feel beautiful.

With an entrepreneurial spirit, she opened her own concierge practice – Ritz XV – in Austin, Texas in 2017, performing concierge-style aesthetic treatments and regenerative medicine procedures in a comfortable and convenient setting. There, she specializes in a wide range of medical-grade cosmetic procedures and regenerative health techniques, including Botox injections, chemical peels, fillers, microneedling, and laser treatments.

Among her other roles, she is the Medical Director of a Freestanding Emergency Room, which she helped open in September of 2022, at Austin Emergency Center.

Having drawn inspiration from the example of the late Dr. Noelle Rotundo, a physician she met while working as a technician in the emergency room, Dr. Dietz was encouraged to pursue a career in medicine. After earning her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Psychology from Ursinus College in 1998, she received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2005.

She followed with an osteopathic internship at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg from 2005 to 2006, and a residency in emergency medicine at Lehigh Valley Hospital from 2006 to 2009. Thereupon, Dr. Dietz performed an international trauma rotation with Tygerberg Hospital in Parow, South Africa in 2008 and served as a chief resident in her final year of residency from 2008 to 2009.

Drawing on years of professional expertise, the doctor is board-certified in emergency medicine by the American Osteopathic Board of Emergency Medicine (AOBEM). The AOBEM is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of acutely ill patients with advanced cardiac life support, trauma, and the management of other life-threatening medical issues (emergency physicians).

Among her professional affiliations, Dr. Dietz is an active member of the American Osteopathic Association, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Texas Medical Association, and the American Med Spa Association.

Emergency medicine, also known as accident and emergency medicine, is the medical specialty concerned with the care of illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. An emergency physician is a physician who works at an emergency department to care for acutely ill or injured patients. They care for unscheduled and undifferentiated patients of all ages.

For her dedication, achievements, and leadership in emergency care and aesthetic treatments, Dr. Dietz has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctors. She attributes her success to her parents who were great role models to her and instilled in her the value of good work ethics and drive.

Her mother was also a nurse, so Dr. Dietz was exposed to medicine at a young age, especially when her grandmother got sick and she and her sisters took turns taking care of her. She considers her career highlight to be venturing out and becoming an entrepreneur as well as getting her team through the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the coming years, Dr. Dietz would like to expand her business and partner with other physicians. Her goal is simply to help guide other doctors to find avenues of revenue so that they can support themselves and support their families without burnout. She would also like to be more financially free so she can be more available for her family.

Outside of practicing medicine, she enjoys running (including triathlons), cycling, as well as doing Yoga, pilates, Barre. Her favorite place to vacation is in Costa Rica.
