Monday, September 10, 2012 on The Doctor Ira Breite Show on SiriusXM 81: Doctor Radio

Happy Fall!  Its time to get back into the swing of things, get your flu shot, colonoscopy, mammogram and whatever else you need to maintain your health for the year ahead.  We are going to be talking about some important basics, both medical and surgical on tomorrow's show.

We'll start with the surgery.  Hernias to be exact. We all talk about them, but what are they?  Why do they seem to occur anywhere?  And when do you need to do anything about them?  Join me and Dr. Steven Hofstetter,the Surgeon in Chief at NYU-Langone's Tisch Hospital, as we talk about all kinds of hernias and what you can do about them.

Hernia?  Questions about what to do.  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

After this....GI Update!  Hear the latest and greatest in the world of digestive disease and have your questions about heartburn, liver disease, constipation and more answered at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

Did you know that September is cholesterol awareness month?  I admit it, I didn't.  What don't you know about cholesterol?  Find out with me and Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Siegel.  Good, bad, and maybe indifferent, you'll want to know all about it. 

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 you doctor ask me! 1-877-NYU-DOCS.
