The office did CPR 🚑 recerts a few weeks ago and I am proud to say we all passed! 🙌 Continuing education 📖 is important to us and CPR is just one aspect. Education keeps us on the top of our game 🩺 so we can take care of our amazing patients.
Now, nobody volunteer, we don't need to be tested. It's hard work! 😅

Herbal supplements are not necessarily safe.

Katie Mohan started taking daily turmeric pills in March after seeing a doctor on Instagram tout its benefits for inflammation and joint pain relief. A few weeks later, the 57-year-old started having stomach pain, nausea and fatigue.

“I just did not feel well generally,” she said. “I also noticed that despite drinking a lot of water every day, that my urine was darker.”

Mohan didn’t link her symptoms to the herbal pills until she saw an NBC News report in May about rising liver damage from supplements. She recognized her symptoms in a patient taking the same high dose of turmeric.

Within a week, Mohan went to urgent care, where tests showed her liver enzymes were 70 times the normal level.

“It was very serious,” said Dr. Nikolaos Pyrsopoulos, a hepatologist at NYU. “Katie actually was one step before full liver damage, liver failure, requiring liver transplant.”

There are no clear guidelines about how much turmeric is safe to consume and turmeric pills are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
