With the new Baylor Medical Plaza
Pharmacy at Grapevine now open,
Baylor Grapevine’s patients can fill
their prescriptions before leaving
the hospital.
“We have technicians on the
patient floors who talk to people
before they are discharged,” explains
Andrea Marcket, Baylor Grapevine’s
pharmacy manager. “People can
have their prescriptions filled and
delivered to their rooms.”
With the medications in hand
before they leave, patients and their
family members don’t have to make
a stop later in the day. They can head
straight home from the hospital and
get comfortable as they recover.
The pharmacy can also fill
prescriptions for people who
come to the hospital for doctor’s
appointments or outpatient visits.
Their doctors can call, fax or
electronically send the prescriptions
to the pharmacy.
The pharmacy also carries overthe-counter cough, cold and allergy
medications and medical equipment
such as braces, support
hose and walkers.
It is located in
the professional
office building
and hours are
Monday through
Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The pharmacy accepts
most insurance plans.
Help for Complex
Conditions
People facing cancer and
other serious illnesses—
and their families—may
struggle with complex
care planning. Baylor
Grapevine’s Supportive
and Palliative Care
Program can help.
The specialists aim to
improve communication
among patients, family
members and doctors,
and guide patients in
managing pain and
symptoms.
Tim Schroeder, MD, a
supportive and palliative
care physician on the
medical staff at Baylor
Grapevine, says, “A
lot of times there are
multiple consultants
on a case and complex
information is relayed
to the family. We help
people get a clear
understanding of what’s
going on with their
loved ones.”
He points out
that supportive and
palliative care is a
medical specialty,
just like cardiology
or gastroenterology.
And it is not hospice.
Supportive and
palliative care is focused
on care planning.

Conquer
the Cancer
Maze
Baylor Grapevine’s
cancer nurse navigator
program can help
DEALING WITH A CANCER diagnosis
can be overwhelming. Along with the
emotional upheaval that can accompany
a health challenge, cancer patients need
to learn about their disease quickly,
make a lot of decisions, follow complex
treatment recommendations and
schedule appointments with specialists.
At the Baylor Charles A. Sammons
Cancer Center at Grapevine, a patient
navigation program helps patients and
their families manage the challenges of
a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
A nurse navigator’s involvement with
a patient starts at the time of diagnostic
surgery. “Patients have a lot of questions
after surgery: ‘Did the doctors remove all
of the cancer? Do I need chemotherapy,
radiation therapy or a combination?
Do I stay in the hospital? Do I get my
chemotherapy here? How do I get an
appointment?’ A nurse navigator can help
them find the answers,” says Jo Darling,
RN, an oncology nurse navigator on the
medical staff at Baylor Grapevine.
Nurse navigators:
• Answer questions and address
patient concerns
• Review medical records and explain
options
• Educate and empower patients to
make informed decisions about their
treatment options
• Work with a multidisciplinary team
of doctors to provide efficient, timely,
quality care
• Help schedule appointments
• Assist patient and family members
with finding appropriate resources
• Explore and assist with financial
resources
Nurse navigators work with patients
through the diagnosis and treatment
stages and beyond. They improve access
to care and remove barriers.
Baylor Grapevine’s cancer care team
includes a palliative care physician, a
chaplain, a social worker, a dietitian, a
pharmacist, a nurse navigator, a nurse
manager and the nurse caring for
the patient. This team addresses any
issues that arise, from questions about

Anyone can refer a patient to the

family member or the individual’s
primary care doctor. Patients can even
refer themselves.

BACK PAIN MYTHS BUSTED
We give you the straight-up facts
BACK PAIN IS TAKING a serious toll. It’s
one of the most common reasons we
miss work, and one half of all working
Americans say they experience back
pain symptoms each year.
Though the road to a healthy back
isn’t always a simple one, treatments
ranging from medication to physical
therapy to surgery are available
and usually effective, says Matthew
Berchuck, MD, a spine surgeon on
the medical staff at Baylor University
Medical Center at Dallas and Baylor
Medical Center at Waxahachie.
And getting help starts with
understanding the truth about your
back pain. Here, Dr. Berchuck helps us
separate fact from fiction.
———————[ MYTH ]———————
Bed rest is the answer to a backache.
———————[ FACT ]———————
“Years ago, people thought staying in
bed for weeks was the thing to do, but
DID YOU KNOW?
It is estimated that
80%
today we know that no more than 24
to 48 hours is recommended because
of the deconditioning that happens
as a result of prolonged inactivity,”
Dr. Berchuck says.
“Kidney infections, tumors, ulcers,
ovarian cysts and pancreatitis are just
a few of the things that can present as
back pain,” Dr. Berchuck explains.
———————[ MYTH ]———————
Spine surgery doesn’t work and just
leads to other surgeries.
You can only have back pain if
you’ve been in an accident.
———————[ FACT ]———————
Though lots of back injuries do start
with trauma, back pain also can be
caused by arthritis, infections and
tumors, Dr. Berchuck says.
———————[ MYTH ]———————
Back pain means there’s a problem
with your spine.
———————[ FACT ]———————
Back pain also can be caused by a host
of other conditions
that have nothing to
do with the spine.
———————[ MYTH ]———————
———————[ FACT ]———————
Most patients who undergo spine
surgery do very well and are able
to resume the activity level they
had before surgery, Dr. Berchuck
says. “Our understanding of spinal
disease has increased greatly. Thanks
to advances in both diagnostic and
therapeutic technology, we have a
much greater ability to diagnose and
treat spinal disorders of all kinds.”

When Bill Dippel, a Dallas lawyer, turned
50, his doctor told him it was time for a
colonoscopy. His response was anything
but pleased. “I laughed out loud and said,
‘You’ve got to be kidding me, doc!’”
Like most of us, Dippel was anxious about
the prospect of undergoing that
procedure—but his physician

wouldn’t budge. “He told me guys

and removed three polyps, one of which
was cancerous,” Dippel says. “Had I not
been screened when I was, the cancer would have progressed.”
Thanks to laparoscopic surgery and six months of chemotherapy
at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, Dippel, now 56, is
cancer-free—and he’s sharing his message of early detection with
anyone who will listen.
“You deserve to take good care of yourself,” Dippel says. “A simple
colonoscopy puts you in the best position to beat colon cancer,
and it’s a great win. Just ask my kids.”
If that’s not enough to convince you, read on. Here,
Rassa Shahidzadeh, MD, a gastroenterologist on the medical
staff at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano, shares five
facts about colorectal cancer you need to know.

FdBL011402_Grapeveine2.indd 6
11/22/13 4:20 PM
FACT #1
IT’S NOT JUST A
MAN’S DISEASE.
“Maybe it’s because breast cancer
is so widely covered by the media,
but for some reason people have this
idea that colon cancer is mainly a
man’s problem,” Dr. Shahidzadeh
says. “Colorectal cancer is equally
devastating for both genders.”
In fact, the National Cancer Institute
estimates that 73,680 men and 69,140
women were diagnosed with the disease
in 2013. And among

a man or a woman. You
should start getting screened at age 50,
or earlier if you’re at high risk.
FACT #2
IT DOESN’T ALWAYS
CAUSE SYMPTOMS.
“About half of the patients I see
didn’t experience any symptoms
prior to their diagnosis,”
Dr. Shahidzadeh says.
Symptoms are more likely to appear
in later stages, but colorectal cancer
is most treatable when it’s diagnosed
early, before any warning signs
appear. When present, symptoms may
include abdominal pain, constipation,
diarrhea, bloody stools or unexplained
weight loss.
THE TAKEAWAY Symptom-free
doesn’t mean disease-free. Stay current
on your screenings regardless of how
good you feel.
FACT #3
EVERYONE IS AT RISK.
Individuals with a personal history
of breast cancer, inflammatory bowel
disease or colon polyps or who have
a family history of colon cancer are at
increased risk for colorectal cancer.
Smoking, drinking excessively or
eating a high-fat diet that includes a
lot of red or processed meat may also
increase risk.
But everyone should be screened,
regardless of how low they perceive
their risk to be. “There are two
kinds of risk—average and high,”
Dr. Shahidzadeh says. “No one is ‘safe’
from colorectal cancer.”
THE TAKEAWAY Talk to your doctor
to determine a personalized screening
schedule based on your level of risk.
Colonoscopy Q&A
Due for a colonoscopy? You likely have questions. Here,
Clifford Simmang, MD, a colorectal surgeon on the medical
staff at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine, answers
the ones his patients often ask.
Q
Do I have to do
the prep?
A. Yes. You need to take
a preparation to induce
diarrhea and clean out
your colon before your
colonoscopy. It’s not
pleasant, but small polyps
FACT #4
YOU CAN’T BEAT
A COLONOSCOPY.
Though several screening options are
available, the gold standard is still
colonoscopy. “It can detect and remove
polyps before they become cancerous,
and it’s a really simple outpatient
procedure,” Dr. Shahidzadeh says.
Most people are pleasantly surprised
by how easy and painless it is. “I had to
be talked into it, but it really wasn’t bad
at all,” Dippel says.
THE TAKEAWAY Getting a
colonoscopy is your best bet at
preventing and detecting colorectal
cancer, so don’t dodge it or delay it.
FACT #5
IT’S PREVENTABLE.
If properly screened, no one has to
die from colorectal cancer. “This is
one of the few cancers we can actually
prevent,” Dr. Shahidzadeh says.
The death rate from colon cancer has
gone down over the past 20 years, likely
attributable to the removal of polyps
and early detection that occur during
colonoscopies.

How to know when a visit to
the doctor needs to move to
the top of your to-do list
A
As women, we take our roles as caregivers
seriously. We’re the first to rush to the
side of a sick child or relative, and never
hesitate to take them to the doctor if we’re
concerned. Yet we often fail to provide
this same level of care for ourselves. But
putting your health on the back burner is
a dangerous game.
“Forgoing screenings and exams can be
hazardous to your health indeed,” says
Robert Watson, MD, medical director
at Baylor All Saints Medical Center’s
Andrews Women’s Hospital.
“Especially since many serious
illnesses are most treatable when
the first symptoms appear.”
Ladies, we know you have
a lot on your plate, but some
symptoms simply shouldn’t
be ignored. Read on to learn
which are serious business—and
which ones can afford to wait.

wrong because they’re so tired.
The truth is they have three kids

that is exhausting.”
That said, extreme fatigue that
comes on suddenly could be a sign
of something serious, so talk to
your doctor.
SYMPTOM

Maybe. Having a

SYMPTOM

Yes. If you observe changes

of new moles or skin lesions, talk
to your doctor. “Skin cancer is
very treatable if it’s found early,”
Dr. Watson says.
SYMPTOM
Change in bowel movements.
GET IT CHECKED?
Yes. “Chronic constipation
➜
or diarrhea, or any significant
change in the stools, is cause for
concern and should be evaluated
by a physician,” Dr. Watson says.
These symptoms can indicate
a bowel obstruction, Crohn’s
disease or colon cancer.
One More
Thing
Beyond seeing your doctor when
a concerning symptom arises,
Dr. Watson encourages women to
see their gynecologist annually for
a well-woman checkup. Consider
doing it at the same time each year,
on your birthday or right after the
new year begins, for example, so
you don’t forget.
“An annual Pap smear may no
longer be recommended for most
women, but we still recommend
an annual visit,” Dr. Watson
says. “This is an important
time to talk about symptoms or
concerns, contraception options,
hormones, medications and
recommended screenings.”
The Screen
Scene
Women need regular screenings to
watch for signs of health problems.
Rebecca Robert, MD, an obstetriciangynecologist on the medical staff at
Baylor Regional Medical Center at
Grapevine, recommends:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
An annual physical that includes
a breast and pelvic exam.
Pap tests as recommended by
your doctor based on your age,
risk and previous test results.
While some women only need
Pap tests every three years,
everyone needs a pelvic exam
annually.
A baseline mammogram at
age 35 and annual mammograms
starting at age 40.
Blood work that checks fasting
cholesterol, thyroid function,
glucose and liver enzymes at
least every three to five years.
A bone-density scan every other
year beginning at age 50.
Colonoscopy beginning at age 50.
For smokers, a chest X-ray in
their 40s or 50s.
For women with a lot of moles,
freckles or sun exposure, seeing
a dermatologist annually.
Women at high risk for certain
conditions may need more frequent
screenings.

Baylor researchers are among

WE’VE COME A LONG WAY in the
treatment of heart disease. Just four
decades ago, a clogged artery was a
ticking time bomb—and there was
little that cardiologists could do to stop
it. Today, they use minimally invasive
techniques to open clogged arteries and
restore blood flow, and then they place
tiny metallic mesh tubes called stents
that release a drug to help prevent the
arteries from narrowing again.
And yet, this advanced method still
has drawbacks. “Metallic stents can
cause inflammation and subsequent scar
tissue that can result in the renarrowing
of the artery,” says David Brown, MD,
