Monday, March 19th, 2018 on the Doctor Ira Breite Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine Show on SiriusXM 110: Doctor Radio!

Polyp-2

We have a very digestive disease packed show planned.  Dr. Ira Jacobson, the director of liver disease here at NYULangone Health, will be coming in to talk about hepatitis C.  Even though there are many potential drugs to cure this disease, it remains a vexing problem.  If you or a loved on has, or is at risk, for hepatitis C, give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

We will have GI update after that, expanding our subject to all of the digestive organs!  Give us a call or send me a tweet!

It's Colon Cancer Prevention Month!  Join me and colorectal surgeon Dr. Lynn O'Connor as we talk prevention in men and women as well as treatment options if cancer or a large polyp is found.

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

Opioid use is a constantly in the headlines, and its important to separate fact from fiction and treatment from hysteria.  For those people who are chronically on opioids, a common problem is constipation.  Join me and Dr. Judy Nee of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital as we talk about the latest treatments for opioid induced constipation.

Constipated and using opioids?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

After this we will talk with anesthesia pain specialist Dr. Joseph Pergolizzi about opioid induced constipation and about non-narcotic ways to treat a variety of pain!

Pain? Looking to avoid opioids?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS

After this, the office is open!  We will have a combined gastroenterology update and Ask Doctor Ira...anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me!

A really, really short update this week.  Why? One, the Oscars.  And two, just got off a plane (circling Newark for a little too long).  We will be talking diabetes, colon cancer prevention, and taking your calls at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!
