The Morning Routine | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Sunday, May 31, 2020

I wake up without an alarm clock. I’ve done that for years. If I have to catch a plane or train, which is rare nowadays, I set one as back up. First thing I do is heat water for my hot chocolate. Dependent on the time of year, this is usually around 5 in the morning, before sunrise. I take my blood...

Horde of the Flies | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Saturday, May 30, 2020

The Santa Clarita Valley three decades ago was serene. Running in early morning hours before sunrise smelled of country with the occasional sighting of coyotes and bobcats, and hearing the rustling of awakening native birds. We were an extension of urban life taking over their grounds. One morning, it...

Manipulating Covid Data for Profit | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Friday, May 29, 2020

In 1975, I presented my master’s thesis at an Indiana University health conference. The data collected were a culmination of one year of research, accepted and later published in a medical journal. It was my first foray into this realm, so I used a scholarly statistic group from Purdue University,...

Crash Course in Technology | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Thursday, May 28, 2020

Visitation is highly restricted for nursing homes, as they are hotspots of life and death. If your loved one uses a smart phone, family communication is maintained. For those with less technical skills, many nursing homes now compassionately lend residents cell phones for usage. One of my patients was...

Mother Nature’s Vote | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Wednesday, May 27, 2020

As a physician, I am dismayed the COVID-19 healthcare problem has been tossed into the political arena. Americans are dying, and critical decisions must be made to manage this disease. When I make a medical decision, the repercussions can be immediate, and judged by whether the patient lives or dies. When...

Nursing Home Hotspots | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Tuesday, May 26, 2020

As a geriatric physician, I have visited nursing homes for over 30 years. COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that is inflicting havoc and death over senior healthcare facilities. Statistics reveal nursing homes are “hotspots” for large clusters of coronavirus, but as a doctor, I am not surprised...

Dad’s Limp | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Monday, May 25, 2020

My dad was a disabled World War II veteran in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Rarely did he discuss the war, which was common for many who served. Carl Dorio was born in Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm in New Jersey where he flew a crop-dusting plane as part of his daily chores. When the war started, his...

The Magic Pill | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Sunday, May 24, 2020

There is hope a magic pill will instantaneously cure cancer or bring back memory. Can one be discovered for COVID-19? As a doctor and scientist, I see technology moving forward at exponential speed. But have we halted fungal toenails, cured mental illness, or extended life expectancy to 120 years? Nope....

Vacation Spots for Seniors | Doctor’s Diary with Dr. Gene Dorio
Saturday, May 23, 2020

Have you ever had a friend or loved one say, “Gee, I can’t wait to get older so I can go to a nursing home?” Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), rebranded “nursing homes,” will never escape their reputation for bodily smells and agonizing sounds of aging. The escalation of hospital and insurance...
