Ask a medical expert -- win a prize

We here at Picture of Health know you worry about your health. We do, too. And we know you probably have pressing questions you would love to ask your doctor, if only she had time to sit and chat. So next Friday, we will inaugurate our Ask a Medical Expert feature.

Here's how it works: You submit your questions. We will pick the best one and the winning question will be answered here next Friday, Sept. 11. It's that easy

We hope you will submit questions. We hope you will tell your friends and family to submit questions. And since we are feeling generous today -- and not above bribery -- our first winner will receive a year's membership at Brick Bodies. (Offer good for local residents 25 and older. First-time visitors qualify and the membershop is not valid with a current membership. Good at any location. I love writing the fine print.)

So ask away and watch this space for answers.
