Should transgender athletes compete in women's sports?

Sep 5, 2024 | kevinmd.com | William Lynes |Courtney Markham-Abedi |Kellie Stecher |Susan Friedman

Watching the 2024 Paris Olympics reminded me of my intense love for sports. It is the nobility, beauty, strength, agility, and fairness that attract me and the audience. Performances by Simone Biles, with her majesty and strength, to Katie Ledecky’s’ power and domination, surrounded by Olympic and world record performances, often bring me to tears. These attributes have abounded in Paris, but unfortunately, something foul is also afoot.
A rookie doctor's race against time

Jan 26, 2024 | kevinmd.com | William Lynes |Alexa Mason |Monique Hedmann |Sofia Dobrin

An excerpt from A Surgeon’s Knot. The phone jarred Jackson Cooper, MD’s weary, anxious brain into consciousness from the edge of sleep. He jumped up, dropping the receiver on the cold floor of the call room. “Hello,” he said, tension entering the new intern’s mind. “Dr. Cooper,” the nurse’s voice said nervously.

Dec 27, 2023 | kevinmd.com | William Lynes |Michele Luckenbaugh |Holly MacKenna |Gretchen E. Green

I had the honor and privilege of visiting Cuba for a missionary trip this past week. As I ponder that amazing time, I will put my thoughts in this essay. Cuba is a small, sad country in the Caribbean. While one can see the tropical beauty and its former potential, the country has been ruined by a communist government and an overarching U.S. embargo, whose presence is now unnecessary. The Cuban people have nothing. They have little to no food, medicine, gasoline, or oil.

Jul 3, 2023 | kevinmd.com | William Lynes |Sharona Hoffman |Amanda Xi |Yoo Jung Kim

I am a physician, a urologist, but what most people don’t know about me is that I am a survivor of mental illness, physician burnout, and multiple suicide attempts. Today, I write about the condition of the medical profession, its problem with burnout, and its solutions. I began practicing general urology in 1987.

I am a physician, specifically a urologist. However, what most people do not know about me is that I am a survivor of multiple suicide attempts.

I completed my urologic residency in 1987 at Stanford University and began practicing with the Southern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Riverside, California.

Jun 3, 2023 | kevinmd.com | William Lynes |Yoo Jung Kim |Harry W. Severance |Howard Smith

A most memorable message awaited me on my desk one morning: a brief note from Mrs. G asking, “Why did my husband take his own life today?”Startled, I reflected on Mr. G’s history as I had been treating him in my urology clinic for the past few months. It had recently come to my attention that his complaints were related to painful recurrent renal colic. Anticipating a distressing phone call, I recalled my interactions with Mr. G.
Lazarus: the dead man brought back to life

Mar 24, 2023 | kevinmd.com | William Lynes |Leslie Mattson |Gjanje L. Smith |Wanneh A. Dixon

Lazarus is a man of the new testament, living in the time of Jesus Christ in the city of Bethany. He was the brother of two of Christ’s followers, sisters Mary and Martha.

What are the details of Lazarus’ illness and subsequent reappearance? As only a physician would, when I read this story, I ask what disease Lazarus suffered from.
