General Surgeons OfferWide Spectrum of Care
“A little over a month ago, I noticed pain in my abdomen. Thenext morning, I felt better and thought nothing of the pain.Shortly after, I was playing tennis when the pain returned andbecame increasingly more severe. I asked a friend to drive me toNew London Hospital’s Emergency Department. Each bumpin the road was a stab of pain. When we arrived around 5:00pm, I was seen immediately by Dr. Kenneth Call who diagnosedappendicitis. A CAT scan revealed a ruptured appendix. I was inthe operating room by 9:30 pm.My surgeon Dr. Eberly was very caring and comforting. Helistened carefully to all I had to say and explained everything in amanner that was easily understood. He quickly inspired confidenceby seeming to know immediately what needed to be done.I stayed in the hospital for two nights. The new private rooms weregreat and the nursing team exceptional. Dr. Eberly visited me andwas pleased with my progress. In a follow-up appointment twoweeks after surgery, I was told I could resume my normal activities.I’m happy to say I’ve resumed playing tennis. One usually doesn’tthink of a hospital stay as a positive experience but I can honestlysay that my time at New London Hospital was made as pleasant aspossible by the excellent team of doctors and nurses.”Patricia McMonagle, New LondonDonald Eberly, MDNew London Hospital Annual Report 2009 15
