Monday October 31, 2016 on the Doctor Ira Breite Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine Show on SiriusXM 110: Doctor Radio


Boo!  That's about as good as I can do on Halloween.  I think I've had enough surprises this year. But one unpleasant surprise I can (and want to) talk about is cyclic vomiting syndrome.  Join me as I speak with Dr. David Fleisher, MD, a pediatric and adult gastroenterologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri in Columbia who is an expert on this as well as Ms. Erin Delman, who had years of unexplained symptoms before being diagnosed.

Vomiting/nausea and not sure why?  Give us a call at 1-877-DOCS.

After that we will have GI update, where I will tell you the latest and greatest in the world of digestive disease and answer your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!  Or send me a tweet!

Healthcare is changing.  And for all the good: think awesome new drugs and techniques, there is the bad: think ridiculous copays and terrible computer systems.  How are we going to navigate the future.  Join me and Dr. Steve Lasko, MD, MBA the President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health in Philadelphia as we talk about transforming healthcare, for the better, in the future.

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

Monday, October 24th on the Doctor Ira Breite Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine Show on SiriusXM 110: Doctor Radio!



A quick update on Monday's Show as I clearly got a little too involved with the football game. Dr. Robynne Chutkan will be joining us at 8AM ET to talk about her book "Microbiome Solution." After that, I will be answering your questions on 1-877-NYU-DOCS during Gastroenterology Update!  Wonder why the other line always moves faster (it really does!).  Join me and David Andrews, the author of "Why Does the Other Line Move Faster: The Mythos and Misery and Secrets and Psychology of Waiting in Line."  We will end the show with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can call or tweet me your questions: anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me! 1-877-NYU-DOCS

Monday, October 17th on the Doctor Ira Breite Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology Show on SiriusXM 110 Doctor Radio!



October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  While the vast majority of people with breast cancer are women, breast cancer occurs in men, and can be fatal (yes, men do have breast tissue).  Join me and Dr. Julia Smith of NYU as we talk about male breast cancer.

Guys (or their ladies): have you noticed a lump/bump on your chest?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

After that, we have a full hour straight of Gastroenterology Update and Ask Doctor Ira.  Why a full hour straight? (which you can tweet or call at -877-NYU-DOCS)  Because at 9:30 ET, Dr. Marc Siegel, the Medical Director of Doctor Radio, will be coming in to give me a flu shot and they don't want me fainting and causing dead air time.  Despite that, I'm getting mine and you should get yours too.  Find out why.

We will continue the conversation with GI update after this...not just the microbiome...ask me any questions on any gastroenterology topic at all.  Or send me a tweet.

It's Columbus Day.  Exploring and all that.  Join me and Chris Kilham, the Medicine Hunter, as we talk ayahuasca, botanicals and more.

Questions? I have them.  I want to hear yours too.  Give us a callat 1-877-NYU-DOCS.
