May is asthma awareness month. It’s also the time of year when many of us are suffering from seasonal allergies. We asked Lawrence General Hospital and Holy Family Hospital, Methuen and Haverhill’s Dr. Patrick Scanlon, a pulmonologist and critical care physician, to break down common myths and facts when it comes to both conditions. Looking to find a specialist to treat your symptoms? Visit LawrenceGeneral.org/doctor for more. (fb)
