I had been throwing up, diarrhea, severely dehydrated and severe upper right pain in my stomach. The bottom of my stomach had a bad burning for 3 days. I went to see Mrs Melissa hoping to get something for my vomiting. She was going to order a shot but my liver enzymes was high so she said go to Dyersburg Hospital. I went there and they done some tests and then next thing I knew I was being put in an ambulance and sent to Jackson. I will be going through a surgery for removal of a stone in my gallbladder and then have the gallbladder removed. Each one of these places are West Tennessee Healthcare you can't find any better services anywhere. The staff at each place is very compassionate and understanding. They all worked quickly with me and have been doing great. I get my first surgery in the morning. I was also told if I had not went to the Dr when I did it would had turned into a life n death situation. Thank you Melissa for loving your patients as much as you do. Thank you Dyersburg Hospital for your help and also thank Jackson Memorial for helping me also. Everyone has been so compassionate and professional.
