My brother just had a hip replacement and is experiencing complications due to an enlarged prostate, including a urinary infection and difficulty urinating. His orthopedist suggests a prostate operation to prevent potential hip infection from continued catheter use, but his urologist is hesitant due to the risk of failure. What is the best course of action?

I have asthma induced by exercise. I haven't used an inhaler for many years, but I believe I'm having a small attack right now. I have had asthma for many years and stopped using Advair a few years ago. I'm afraid that with spring upon us, I am having asthma symptoms. I am 58 years old, female, and experiencing chest tightness and a bit of wheezing after exercise. Can you prescribe medication?

My son has fevers that last for 6-7 days when he gets sick. His WBC and ANC were low during his last illness, and he had a normal EBV test. His CRP was also normal. The recent blood work showed normal absolute neutrophil count and immunoglobulins, but I'm concerned about the lymphocytes and poikilocytes seen in the blood test. Could this indicate a more serious condition like cancer or autoimmune disease?
