Once their condition has deteriorated enough to require medical care, there isn't much physicians can do to treat them or speed up recovery. Instead, they offer supportive care, limit spread, and wait for the disease to run its course, said Dr. Francis Darr, a pediatrician in Marquette. "The key, again, is not so much treatment as it is prevention and avoiding infection in the first place," Darr said. Michigan is seeing its highest number of pertussis infections in a decade. As of Dec. 8, the state health department reported more than 1,500 cases, which is more than twice as much as the 596-case average from 2017 through 2019. Public health leaders are urging families to ensure they're up to da...

childhood vaccinations in the 50s :: Article Creator Hope Springs Eternal: The Polio Vaccine Is Released In 1955 Somedays it feels like the Covid-19 pandemic that brought the entire world to its collective knees was a lifetime ago. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday. The palpable fear and paranoia. The anxiety. The unknown. Over three years have passed since the first wave of the shutdown began and, while public health officials continue to admonish the public that the pandemic is ongoing, for many people the cataclysm has passed into history. The collective historical experience, which will be studied and written about by historians for generations, will pivot around the roll-out of the various vaccines. The politicization of the vaccinations and their concomitant mandates that allowed for a return to normalcy, to steal a phrase from Warren G. Harding's 1920...

regular doctor :: Article Creator The Importance Of Seeing Your Doctor On A Regular Basis PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Here is a statistic that may or may not surprise you: 60% of men do not regularly see a doctor. A Cleveland Clinic study also revealed that about half of those surveyed don't even like to talk about their health. But do you need to go if you aren't sick? The short answer is yes because regular visits can stave off big-time problems. When things are going well, it's the last thing on your mind. "Most guys say, 'I feel good. I don't need to see a doctor. Nothing's wrong.'" Allegheny Health Network's Dr. Brian Lamb says that's exactly when to see a doctor. "Your doctor is there to actually prevent things from going wrong in the first place. They're trying to fix a problem," Dr. Lamb added. Specifically, Dr. Lamb said there are three reasons all men should see the doctor...
