In this session, Dr. Chan S Hwang, M.D., will define what will talk about pain and how it has a beneficial role in protecting an individual who has been harmed from further harm and motivates the person to find a remedy. We will learn how the brain interprets pain and activates endorphins to reduce pain. We will also learn about the short-term benefits of opioid pain killers
and the significant risks of chronic opioid use.
