Frances Dalbey, outreach specialist with Hunt Regional Healthcare, says September is "Pain Awareness Month." Frances refers to a recent YouTube video featuring Hunt Regional physician Dr. Eyad Zonjy, who specializes in pain management. A recent Johns Hopkins article suggests several ways of managing pain, and reports on several new ways of helping patients suffering severe pain.
