Many people rely
on doctors and hospital emergency rooms to deal with routine medical issues
which they are often capable of managing or preventing for themselves. This
medical series, coordinated by FBC member and Richmond Orthopedic Surgeon Dr.
Terry Whipple, is designed to help people understand common health issues and adjust
their lifestyles for longer, safer, healthier existence.
Most recent session:
A Saturday symposium
dealing with Nerves and Nervous System
May 5, 2012.
Nervous? No matter what your age, the nervous system
is prone to hiccups and malfunction.
Symptoms range from paralysis to
anxiety, from chronic pain to depression.
We all get it, got it or will get
it sooner or later. What will YOU do about it?
