Monday, May 13th on the Doctor Ira Breite Show on SiriusXM 81: Doctor Radio!

Sex?  STDs?  On the Doctor Ira Show?  Yup.  Gonorrhea, which our grandfather's in the service conveniently treated with a shot of penicillin, is still here.  And, unfortunately, its getting more and more resistant to the antibiotics we have available.  Join me and Mr William Smith, the executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, as we talk about this and what you need to know about sexual health.  Find out how a simple STD has become a major headache, and what it means to you and your family.

After this we will have gastroenterology update where I will tell you some of the latest and greatest news in the world of digestive diseases and answer your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.  You can also tweet me your questions if you can't call in!

After this, dietician Rachel Begun will be joining us to talk about new facts in the the diagnosis of celiac disease.  I will give you one: that being fat may be a sign of celiac disease! 

Celiac questions?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

We will end the show, as always, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me a question on any medical topic at all: whatever you forgot to ask your doctor, ask me!  Give me a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

From a tweet comes a show (and maybe more.) So tweet me!  Last week, we received a tweet asking about rashes and Celiac disease.  I gave the short answer right on the air and tomorrow we get the full story.  Dr. Vesna Petronic-Rosic, and dermatologist and dermatologist at the University of Chicago will be joining us to talk about the wide variety of skin conditions that can occur in celiac disease.

Weird rash? Stomach Problems?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

Then onto more stomach problems.  Its time for Gastroenterology Update.  Call me with your digestive problems at 1-877-NYU-DOCS or give me a tweet!

We do a lot of historical stuff on this show...particularly on the Presidents of The United States.  It is a well known fact that John F. Kennedy suffered from a variety of ailments, including Addison's Disease. There is a lot on JFKs illness's documented on the "Doctor Zebra" webpage (he has been a guest of ours).  Today we will be talking with authors Richard Lertzman and William J. Birnes on their new book "Dr. Feelgood: The Shocking Story of the Doctor Who May Have Changed History by Treating and Drugging JFK, Marilyn, Elvis, and Other Prominent Figures."  Learn about Doctor Max Jacobson, whom he treated and what he treated them with.  Should be interesting!

We will end the show, as always, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any question on any medical topic at all and I will be happy to answer it.  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS with anything you forgot to ask your doctor.
