ASK THE DOCTORS
DEAR HARRIETTE: Unfortunately, as the youngest child of two immigrants and the first person in my family to be born in America, family members have often ignored my struggles and put them off as “luxury problems.”
Dear Doctors: I have always liked how yawning feels and wondered what it’s for. I just read there is new information about how yawning affects your brain. Do you know anything about that?
In the end, the conflict between federal immigration authorities and protesters in Minneapolis boiled down to one fundamental policy question: Should sanctuary cities be allowed to exist? Should cities, and counties, and states be allowed to prohibit their police from cooperating with the enforcement of federal immigration law, even as those local agencies cooperate with all other law enforcement?
Dear Doctors: My 11-year-old son was diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. He’s been treated with steroids and 10 HBOT sessions, with a small increase in hearing. I’m struggling to find any information regarding HBOT for children. Is there literature or experience in similar cases?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am 22 years old.
President Trump rallied “stop the steal” as he protested – frequently but falsely – that the 2020 election had been rigged against him. Now that slogan is relevant again – but for two totally different reasons.
My husband, Peter, and I have landed in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and already the strange seems familiar again.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently lost a significant amount of weight, and it has been a journey to adjust to a different lifestyle. The majority of my clothes don’t fit me properly, my curves aren’t as curvy as they used to be and many people feel it is OK to comment on my new body. I never hated my body no matter the size, but it has been difficult to learn how to maintain my new shape without being scared I will gain the weight back at the end of the next meal.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband claims that he supports my career as a lawyer in big law; however, he gets irritated when I work late. He says he feels like I don't have time for him and that I always put my job first over everything. I work extremely long hours, sometimes staying at the office past 9 or 10 p.m., and occasionally I even have to log back on once I get home.
