Dr. BirkenThanks for visiting gynfo.com for gynecological information. Women are more interested in protecting and preserving their health today than at any time in our history, and we are pleased to offer a comprehensive health "Action" schedule for the “Seasons of Her Life” along with a wealth of other related women’s health topics.

I made the decision to specialize in women’s health for several reasons. I wholeheartedly believe in treating the whole woman...because it is impossible to separate the physical, psychological and spiritual components into neat little stacks for closer scrutiny. I wanted to participate in the many exciting advances in preventive care, and to help women of all ages overcome the myths and misinformation of the past so that they can concentrate on being healthy and fit. I wanted to become proficient in the emerging technologies now available to help relieve some chronic problems such as incontinence, PMS and menopausal symptoms. Quite simply, I wanted to be able to provide a resource for information and advice on other important life issues of concern to patients and their families. And, because of the very real threat of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases that -- sadly -- are a part of today’s reality, I especially wanted to become a source for accurate data in this area, as well.

As a physician and surgeon, I believe that the best patient-doctor relationships are based on mutual trust, respect, and a candid exchange of ideas and information. We therefore welcome and encourage our patients’ questions and comments because they are critical to our ability to provide the quality of care that you expect and deserve.

It will not be possible, of course, to individually answer all the e-mails that a health site like this one can generate. Besides, a web site -- however well-intentioned -- cannot possibly substitute for a visit with your physician, and all personal health questions should be directed to the health care professionals who know you and your medical history. So, please do not be offended if you do not receive a direct answer to your e-mail. We will use the topics suggested in these communications to add additional content to the site periodically, and we will welcome your comments and ideas about other subjects on which you’d like additional information. Sincerely,


A Harvard Death and Other Stories.

  A Harvard Death and Other Stories.
by Birken, Randy A.
Publisher Information:
Blue Dolphin Publishing, 2006.

The ten stories in this collection, written by a medical doctor, all focus on the medical profession, where the main character is either a medical student, hospital house officer, or doctor. These stories reflect the author's many medical experiences, giving a richness and diversity to the plots, and each ending with a little twist. Each story invites the reader to another medical setting as another mini-drama unfolds, or another ethical issue unwinds, or someone faces an ultimate decision. Blending pathos and humor with a medical background - much like television episodes of medical drama - Dr. Birken offers these intriguing vignettes with a comment from Bernard Malamud, "life is tragedy full of joy." Such are these stories.
