New Medication Group

NEW MEDICATION GROUP

Every Wednesday evening from 6:00 to 7:00 P.M., patients can come in to see me for follow-up questions on medication issues, either for medications they have recently started, or for agents they have been taking for a long time.

Examples of common problems we could address would be side effects, medication seeming not to "work" any longer, changes in another medical condition affecting a medication, emergence of new symptoms, and so on.

The group would not address any emergency or crisis (feeling suicidal, for example). This type of problem needs to be handled in an individual session.

To reserve a place in the next group meeting, call the clinic (707-645-2700) and ask to be scheduled in "Dr. Woolery's Wednesday Evening Medication Group."

Please e-mail me Jamie.Woolery@kp.org, or call me (707-645-2700), for any questions about the group, or any other matter. Please be aware that it often takes me a week to catch up on my email; for more urgent questions, call rather than emailing.

If you call me at the clinic, you should always hear back within 24 hours (except for late in the day Thursdays, as I don't usually work on Friday).

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
