THE HEALTH COLUMN

BY DR. MORRISON

Dr. Neil Morrison is a doctor from Virginia who has been helping patients for over ten years since he graduated from Medical College of Virginia. He now owns his own practice and has volunteered to write this biweekly column to discuss current health.

Dr. Morrison chooses questions posted at the Health Forum to answer in his biweekly column. Some other physicians have helped in answering these questions and are noted within each issue. If you would like to ask Dr. Morrison a question, post it at the Health Forum and he may choose it for his next article.
