Patient: Doctor was cancer-free by early March -- but skinny Dr. Patrick Quinn took the call at work. It was his ear, nose and throat specialist delivering his diagnosis: throat cancer. For years, Quinn has told patients bad news over the telephone. Now he was on the receiving end. He was stunned. "First of all, doctors don't get sick," he says, lounging in a chair at home with his dog, Puck, by his side. "And I'm too young to get cancer; that's ridiculous." Recalling last summer's unexpected diagnosis, Quinn resorts to humor. "I already went to church, and I didn't smoke. So I couldn't give up smoking and start going to church - the two things you rely on when you get a problem," he says, laughing. Quinn hasn't a clue how he got cancer. It must be a reflection on his character, he quip...

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: When does a cold become an ear infection or sinus infection, and how can one tell? My husband and I have disagreements about when to go to the doctor. He says one should never go to the doctor for a cold because it is a viral infection and nothing can be done. I agree. But how long does a cold last, and how do we know when it might be complicated by a bacterial infection? I have kids, 5 months and 4 years. I don't want them to get antibiotics unnecessarily, but my school-age daughter gets a cold a month. - C.N. ANSWER: Colds are viral infections, and the rhinoviruses - of which there are more than 100 strains - are the ones most often implicated as a cause of colds. Antibiotics do nothing for viral infections
It's not uncommon to get a sinus infection in January, treat it with antibiotics, get another one in March, treat it with antibiotics, and then get another one in May," said Dr. Murray Grossan, author of "Free Yourself From Sinus and Allergy Problems - Permanently" from Hydro Med, Inc. (www.drgrossan.com) and an expert in sinus infections. "The problem isn't our resistance to the new strains but, rather, not getting the nasal cilia to remove bacteria. The reason so many people have one infection after another is that their nasal cilia were not treated. As long as the nasal cilia remain stagnant, bacteria multiply and you get more infection. "You wash your hands to get rid of bacteria and dirt. Why not do the same for your nose and sinus?" Dr. Grossan said. "It is proven that antibioti...

Dear Amy: After 12 years, I have realized my husband is a narcissist - true to the psychological definition. I have been to therapy (he won't go), and it is through therapy that I have realized this. I am far from perfect, but I am not the horrible person he makes me out to be. I have very close and healthy relationships with friends and family.
