If you experience constant pain or burning in your side, or if you have a pain that comes and goes when you lift something, it could be caused by a hernia. Or, it could be something as simple as acid reflux – better known as heartburn.
You can learn more about hernias, heartburn and the treatments for both available at Dinner With a Doc, April 24.
Join Ashtabula County Medical Center Surgeon Evangelos Bibidakis, MD, as he discusses hernia symptoms, causes and surgical techniques for repair. He will also discuss surgical techniques for removing tumors, as well as medical and surgical options for reflux.
Dinner With a Doc will start at 6 p.m. in ACMC’s fifth floor Solarium. Dinner will include an entrée, vegetables, beverages, and dessert. The cost of the event is $15. Seating is limited. Reservations must be received by Monday, April 21.
This Dinner With a Doc is the first in the 2014 series featuring a discussion and question-and-answer session by an ACMC physician. Future topics include health concerns as we age, living a healthy lifestyle, rheumatology, pain management and more.
