I am a 3rd generation physician, which means that as a little kid I was given no choice as to what I was going to me when I grew up... "So, you are so smart little Johnny, I am sure that you want to be a doctor just like your father and grandfather and brother and uncle etc etc." You get the idea. My grandfather had his office in his house. He ate breakfast and then walked across the hall, opened the big sliding doors and Voila! he was in his office and its waiting room. What a great commute!My father had operated on so many citizens of Quincy,...

In two previous posts (Jan 9, 2008 and Jan 10, 2008) I discussed the use of unstimulated (Natural Cycle) IVF. Since 2007 we have been offering this option to our patients with the understanding that it is not going to be as successful as stimulated IVF for the majority of patients. Our prediction was that we could generate acceptable pregnancy rates in those patients with the best prognosis (younger, regular cycles, well-defined cause of infertility) and our data suggests that we have been successful.However, our discussions with the leadership...

Sometimes you just want to pack it in and head for the islands... There is nothing quite as stressful as a tricky embryo transfer.

Some nights you just have to roll with life's little surprises. Last night we had a delivery at 9 pm and the delivery man accidentally rolled his handcart over my dog's front leg. Poor Indy ran off yelping at the top of her lungs and when I finally found her she was huddled up against the kitchen sliding door. As I am not a veterinarian I bundled her off to the Animal Emergency Clinic in Rockville where we spent the next couple of hours. Ultimately, the xray showed the leg was not broken and they dosed her up with doggie morphine and doggie super-Motrin....

Wow, I knew that I was behind in my blogging but missing a whole month is pretty bad! In my defense, I was on vacation for part of the month and DrD was on vacation for several weeks as well so it was a pretty crazy time here at DFE.The end of summer is always very bittersweet. It brings back memories of driving back home from a summer on Cape Cod with the station wagon absolutely heaving from all the junk plus a wet dog and usually a container of Sea Monkeys. The return to school was usually not a high point for me...hard to imagine considering...
