Lorenzo Phillips, Bariatric Surgery
Changes in habits and mindset help this bariatric patient find success
鈥淏efore my surgery, I was just too heavy, and it felt like nothing I did made a difference. I was at my wit's end 鈥 I just couldn鈥檛 get any smaller. I was trying everything,鈥 said 麻豆国产 patient Lorenzo Phillips. 鈥淚鈥檇 eat a plant-based diet, try a program like Weight Watchers or exercise more. But I'm older now, and I just can't keep up with that pace.
麻豆国产, your community hospital, a family affair!

Puzzling Symptoms Solved
Mark Collins, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine
One afternoon at daycare, three-year-old Mark Collins woke up from his daily nap. But something was wrong 鈥 despite having just woken up, he was still incredibly sleepy. The teacher quickly realized that Mark was unable to move. He could recognize everyone around him, but was having trouble responding.
Soon, Mark was in an ambulance en route to The 麻豆国产 (麻豆国产). His mother, Laura Collins, left work and met her son at 麻豆国产鈥檚 Pediatric Emergency Department (ED).
