Medical Weight Loss
What are you to do? You are not a habitual medical care seeker (there are those). But, you have blood in your urine, unexplained weight loss, fever, extreme new-onset fatigue, or cryptic chest pain. Problems that cannot wait-out COVID-19. And, the collateral damage of COVID-19 contagion is yet to be tabulated- people delaying seeing a physician or going to the Emergency Department because of COVID-19 fear- and die of a stroke, heart attack, septic shock, ruptured appendix, etc.

Medical Weight Loss

Problems that cannot wait-out COVID-19.

Primary Care
Alternatively, you can call your county or state health department to get directions on where best to go for evaluation and testing. Your primary care doctor will not be able to handle this situation at this time, as testing is not available through his/her routine laboratories.
Emergency Care
Because of Dr. Rensimer’s expertise with acute care medicine, especially his ability to discern stable illness vs. instability/deterioration, the practice runs much like an urban “MASH” unit. We see acutely ill patients the same day and often treat with IV antibiotics through our office, when indicated. Most other physicians would immediately direct the patient to an emergency department or an unfamiliar hospitalist (hospital-based physician) while we choose to treat as much as we can from the office as an outpatient. As you know, the cost of office care has gone up considerably as a delivery model for the services I am describing, but it saves money for payers in the long run with avoided hospital stays and the costly involvement of layers of consultants and services ordered by them. We pride ourselves on being turn-key, with probably the least need of any other physician in your insurance system for other co-managing physicians on particularly difficult cases. Our mission is to handle medical cases expertly and efficiently, moving a case to the hospital only when there is no other option to optimize the outcome.
Infectious Diseases
This is an opinion piece, so it is critical to know about the source of the opinions. I am a board-certified Infectious Diseases specialist, med school graduated in 1975 and full-time in practice 39 years. I was fully engaged in the HIV epidemic since it started 9 months after I opened my practice. For the first few years, we did not know what caused the illness and even after we did, with only one effective medicine, it was a virtually 100% fatal illness if you acquired HIV. At the time, we were unclear for years on whether we were at substantial risk, as we managed the sickest people you can imagine with pneumonia, bloody diarrhea, and multi-system organ failure on whom one performed spinal taps, bone marrow procedures, and other sampling procedures that exposed us to their blood and other body fluids. We were in this “at risk” exposed position for years, not months, as with SARS-CoV-2. Some physicians refused to see such patients. We were not called “heroes”. During COVID-19, I have maintained an open office, even performing SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing. I suppose all of this qualifies me as a first-responder. I am uncomfortable with the “hero” label being thrown about, as I am sure are most military people. We do what we do out of duty and sense of mission. With respect to COVID-19, I am 70yrs-old, and so in the “at risk for death” group. Enough about me, other than that COVID-19 is a daily part of my reality, not just a “News Alert” banner on TV.
Flu Shots
COVID-19 Disease Incidence: If the virus activity (new cases) is leveling off in the months ahead because of increasing herd immunity (from those previously infected or vaccinated), it may be reasonable to not take a vaccine, especially if serious vaccine-associated ill-effects are being reported in substantial numbers. Of course, as with annual flu shots, there is the consideration of taking a vaccine as “civic duty”, as part of a collective community’s effort to minimize extent of a casually communicable disease. The answer to all this, on a personal level, is nuanced by what is going on at the moment and by one’s principles. It also must take into account all that has been so far stated about the specific vaccines’ risks and benefits, and how those are changing (again, a moving target during an epidemic outbreak).
Diarrhea
Pneumonia
Immunizations
On December 16, 2021, President Joe Biden, attempting to goad Americans into COVID vaccination, said, “For the unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death, for themselves, their family, and the hospital they’ll soon overwhelm.” This guilt-trip message was inflicted on the citizenry one month after the COVID-19 Omicron variant emerged in South Africa, with many, many infected, but not one death. History will see this as one of the most astonishingly shameless misinformational and disinformational messages on public policy ever rendered by a Chief Executive. Why get political? Because this pandemic has been exploited and manipulated by agenda-driven propaganda such that no ordinary person can possibly make sound, personal medical decisions. What is the truth? What is the science? Who can be trusted? When a “crisis” is manufactured and sustained at stake are jobs, careers, educations, financial health, and personal relationships. Even our communities, our economy, ultimately our national security. Lives are put at risk.

Gynecology
Every infant from a pregnancy with possible exposure to Zv should receive postnatal imaging and Zv testing (this was done in only 25% in a 2016-2017 study of Zv cases); consult with your OB-GYN physician on timing.
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery

Internal Medicine
Dr. Rensimer graduated from the Temple University School of Medicine in 1975, with subsequent training in Internal Medicine at Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, and in Infectious Diseases at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston.
