Medical Director Named

BERLIN Atlantic General Hospital and Health System has announce that board certified anesthesiologist and pain intervention specialist Wadid Zaky, MD, will serve as medical director of the new Atlantic General Pain Center.

Building the center was one of the organization’s strategic plans to address a chronic condition that plagues many residents on the shore. According to the National Institutes of Health, chronic pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. It is a leading cause of disability and accounts for a significant portion of healthcare costs.

“We are very pleased to have Dr. Zaky join us,” said Colleen Wareing, vice president of patient care at Atlantic General Hospital. “He brings advanced techniques to the management of pain with a focus on integrating the right interventions for each individual patient. To have him on the Shore for our community is amazing. Dr. Zaky is one of only four pain experts in the United States that was invited to present at the World Institute of Pain International Conference being held in London this month.”

Atlantic General Pain Center provides a comprehensive approach to treatment of chronic pain, with pain blocks and spinal intervention procedures in addition to medical management. Over the next year, the program will expand to include behavioral health as well as complimentary services, providing a holistic approach to the treatment of pain.

“With the therapies that are now available in the field of pain intervention, there is hope for individuals suffering with chronic pain,” said Zaky. “I look forward to working with patients here on Delmarva to help alleviate the pain they may be struggling with.”

In addition to administering pain blocks and performing minimally-invasive procedures, Zaky is the only physician on the Eastern Shore with expertise in advanced neuro modulation, which involves stimulation of the spine to relieve pain in various parts of the body. With one therapy, high-frequency modulation, the patient cannot detect the stimulation and the therapy can relieve pain for some individuals for whom lower frequency therapy was ineffective. Another modality is selective nerve root modulation.

These therapies are used to alleviate pain caused by a number of conditions, including neuropathy and peripheral nerve damage from diabetes, degenerative disc disease, neck and back pain as well as persistent pain after surgery.

Zaky joined Atlantic General Hospital following a stint as assistant professor at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. Zaky completed a fellowship in pain management at the University of Pittsburgh and a fellowship in neuromodulation at King’s College, London, as well as a residency in anesthesia at Brookdale University Medical Center. He has worked with numerous healthcare organizations, including Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute and the Cleveland Clinic Pain Center.

 

Medicare Help Offered

FRUITLAND – Open enrollment for Medicare Part D (prescription plans) runs from now until Dec. 7. The window of opportunity to change plans doesn’t last long and people tend to panic because they don’t know what their options are. What works best with their plan? What will save them money? The process can be confusing especially with people being inundated with television ads and infomercials with misleading information about Medicare plans. Apple Discount Drugs is trying to help with the process.

“We want to help people understand their options so they can make informed decisions about their Medicare plan,” said Jeff Sherr, president of Apple Discount Drugs. “Each person is unique. Medicare does not come in a one size fits all package. Apple can help patients choose the best plan for them depending on the prescriptions they are taking.”

In many cases, a small medication change from a brand name to a generic or switching from one plan to another can save the patient thousands of dollars. An Apple Discount Drugs Clinical Pharmacist is available to meet with individuals one-on-one to review a medication list and make recommendations to the prescriber for the best plan that fits their needs and can also save the patient thousands of dollars annually.

 

Gynecologist Announced

BERLINAtlantic General Health System has announced that gynecologist Brandi Musselman, MD, will be joining Atlantic General Women’s Health in Selbyville, Del., at 38394 Dupont Highway in the Strawberry Center.

Musselman joins Atlantic General Health System after serving as an instructor in obstetrics and gynecology and completing a fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia. She obtained her medical degree at Drexel and completed her residency at Hahnemann University Hospital.

Musselman is a member of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She specializes in treating women with pelvic pain, menstrual disorders, post-menopausal bleeding and pelvic masses such as fibroids, and offers the option of office-based procedures for some treatments.
