DIRECTIONS

You’ve probably heard

that superbug infections

are on the rise due to

antibiotic resistance. The

Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention says that

approximately two in

100 people in the U.S.

carry methicillin-resistant

Staphylococcus aureus

(MRSA). There are many

things you can do to protect

yourself and your family’s

health from these antibiotic-

resistant invaders. Otsego

Memorial Hospital is

working hard to protect you, too. Otsego Health & Wellness sat

down with Dr. Nathan Mann, Primary Care Physician at OMH

Medical Group-Boyne Valley, to find out more about antibiotics

and their use.

WHEN TO USE ANTIBIOTICSBacteria and viruses are the two main types of germs. Most

bacteria don’t hurt you — some even help digest food. But

other bacteria cause diseases such as strep throat, urinary tract

infections, wound and skin infections, many types of pneumonia

and some ear infections. “The thing to remember with antibiotics

is they don’t only kill the bad bacteria,” says Dr. Mann. “They

can cause intestinal problems, medication interactions and side

effects, and by killing the good bacteria, can leave us susceptible

to other infections.”

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. Today, there are

over one hundred antibiotics, most tailored to treat a specific

kind of bacterial infection.

In contrast, viruses can’t be treated with antibiotics. Smaller

than bacteria, these tiny germs make you sick when they invade

and reproduce in healthy cells. Viruses cause many illnesses,

including colds, coughs, bronchitis, most ear infections and flu

(influenza and stomach flu). It’s hard to tell if an illness is caused

by a bacteria or virus, though, so consult your doctor.

All About Antibiotics

Squash ‘Superbug’ InfectionsTIPS FOR TAKING ANTIBIOTICS• Don’t ask for an antibiotic if your doctor says you don’t need it.

If you have a viral infection, avoid antibiotics. They won’t help

and could make you worse.

• Take your medicine as prescribed. Ask your doctor or

pharmacist what to do if you miss a dose.

• Finish taking your medicine even if you feel better (take all the

doses to kill all the bacteria).

• Don’t take old medications or someone else’s medicine.

According to Dr. Mann, having a primary care provider allows

the patient to have a conversation with their healthcare provider

regarding their illness, and make the best decisions for treatment

going forward.

PROTECT YOURSELF• Always handle, prepare, store, cook and refrigerate food

correctly and keep hands, utensils and food preparation areas

clean to avoid foodborne illness.

• Don’t let raw meat, poultry and fish — or their juices — come

into contact with other foods.

• Stay home from work and keep your child home from school

when sick.

• Get vaccinated. Ask your doctor which immunizations you and

your family should receive.

• Wash your hands thoroughly using soap and water for 10 to

30 seconds or an alcohol-based hand rub if soap and water

aren’t available.

WE CAN HELPDo you have a primary care physician? If not, OMH can help.

Dr. Mann is accepting new patients and families, as well as

many other OMH providers. To schedule your appointment,

please call (989) 731-7700. To review the long list of accepted

insurances at OMH and the OMH Medical Group, please visit

All About Antibiotics

Squash ‘Superbug’ Infections

SELF-HELP FOR COLDSYour immune system might fight off some viruses

before they make you sick, but sometimes you just

have to let them run their course. If you or a family

member has a cold, you can get relief by:

• Drinking plenty of fluids.

• Resting.

• Using a cool mist vaporizer or humidifier.

• Spraying saline nose solution to soothe dry

nasal passages.

• Taking a fever-reducing medicine, when needed.

• Drinking warm water with lemon and honey; eating

ice chips; or using a sore throat spray or lozenges

(don’t give lozenges to young children due to

choking hazards).

• Contact your doctor if symptoms get worse or last

a long time.

When the long nights of winter set in and the weather turns

cold, even the most motivated exercisers can be tempted to

stay inside and hibernate. The winter months are brutal for

many people’s fitness routines, but there are some great

benefits to staying active during this time.

Working out in the winter can give you more energy

and improve your overall mood. Some research

even suggests that moderate exercise could give

your immune system a boost and keep you from

catching every cold virus you encounter. With

some simple adjustments, you can put exercise

back into your winter routine. Here are five tips

to get started:

Recruit a workout buddy. Finding a friend to

regularly exercise with can help you get those

running shoes back on even when you don’t

want to. Knowing someone is expecting you to

work out with them at a certain time will help

you stay motivated.

Get the right winter gear. If you prefer to

exercise outside rather than at home or the gym,

the right winter gear will help you to do so even

when temperatures drop. Dress in layers that you

can remove as you start to sweat, and avoid cotton,

which stays wet next to your skin. A layer of fleece or

wool topped by a waterproof layer helps to insulate.

When it’s cold, you should be sure to protect your head,

hands, feet and ears from frostbite with a hat, gloves and

extra socks.

Find a fun winter activity. Get excited for winter weather by

taking up an exercise hobby that you can only do in the winter.

Ice skating, curling, broomball, snowshoeing and skiing (if there’s

snow!) are all excellent winter sports to try.

Set a goal. Don’t use the winter months as time off, use them as time

to prepare or reach a goal. Want to fit into a great new swimsuit next

summer? Set a new personal record in your upcoming half marathon? Use the

winter months to get you there.

Consider moving your workout indoors. Try a new activity that you can do

indoors, such as fencing, dancing, yoga or swimming. If you prefer staying home, this

is the perfect time to up your reps for body weight exercises (push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups)

you can do at home.

Get moving this season with these five ways to winter-proof your workout.

Anterior Approach

Revolutionizing Total Hip ReplacementsThe human anatomy has not changed, but the instruments

used by physicians have, and it is this evolution of technology

and training that is changing how patients experience their

hip replacements. Residents of Gaylord and the surrounding

communities are benefiting from these advancements and the

surgeons who use them.

In July 2015, Otsego Memorial Hospital welcomed

orthopedic surgeon, Ryan Shephard, DO. Dr. Shephard

completed his residency at McLaren-Macomb Hospital in

Mount Clemens, Michigan, and utilizes the anterior approach

to total hip replacements.

“Essentially, the anterior approach has revolutionized the hip

replacement,” said Dr. Shephard. “Surgical technology has

evolved, creating instruments that allow the surgeon to move

around the muscle instead of cutting through it.”

The procedure calls for the surgeon to enter through the front

(anterior) of the hip, instead of the back (posterior) or the side

(lateral) approach.

INCREASED STABILITY, LOWER DISLOCATION RATEAccording to Dr. Shephard, because the surgery is performed

without cutting through the muscle, the patient can expect

increased stability with a lower dislocation rate. This is

a significant improvement when compared to older hip

replacement procedures. The improved stability also leads to

less activity limitations and lifelong restrictions.

“Patients who actively participate in high-level, non-impact

sports, such as skiing or tennis, should not expect to have the

same lifelong restrictions imposed on them as can be expected

with the posterior or lateral approaches,” said Dr. Shephard.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, GREATER ACCURACYThe advanced technology includes more than simply newer

instruments. It incorporates a surgical table that works in

conjunction with an X-ray component, allowing for the highest

level of accuracy when replacing the affected joint. OMH

purchased the Hana Orthopedic Table in the spring of 2015

and is one of only two facilities in northern Michigan with the

equipment and expertise to offer the anterior hip replacement.

Dr. Ryan Shephard shows how an anterior approach to a hip replacement works.

Anterior Approach

Revolutionizing Total Hip Replacements

Talent, training and technology are changing hip replacement

surgery, and patients cannot speak more highly of the benefits.

Although everyone will recover at their own pace, patients of

the anterior approach frequently experience a faster recovery as

their muscle tissue has not been cut.

One of Dr. Shephard’s most recent hip procedures performed

at OMH was completed on 70-year-old Nancy who was thrilled

with the results — especially as she is still in the workforce.

“My husband and I were amazed,” said Nancy. “Even the

nurses and physical therapists were surprised that I was

walking within 30 minutes of waking up from the procedure.

The greatest pain I experienced was the discomfort in my throat

from the breathing tube.”

To find out more about the

anterior approach or to

schedule an appointment
