Shannon Medical Center: "My experience these past two days at the hospital was worth letting everyone know. I went in with symptoms of appendicitis. The staff tended to me promptly and took my symptoms very seriously. They were nice and caring. They were precise and quick. They helped with my pain and discomfort. I did end up having appendicitis and needed surgery. I just want to thank the Doctors, Surgeons,Nurses,Nurses aids,Techs and anyone else I didnt mention. I appreciate all thier hard work and kindness to me. I thanked each one that I met and just wanted to make sure they know how much we appreciated them from me and my family. You all were awesome! Thank You!" - Autumn
