WARNING: Surgical images ⚠️
Last month, @dr.amelia.wiggins performed the first of many NAVIO Robotics-assisted knee replacement surgeries at Mercy Clermont Hospital. Dr. Wiggins and her team continue to use cutting-edge technology to improve their patients' outcomes and reduce recovery time. A big thank you to the whole team for this milestone!

Imagine not being able to tell which pedal your foot was on while driving. That was the case for Danny, a patient at Mercy Heath. Danny knew something had to change. He visited Mercy Health – Lourdes Hospital and received a CT scan. The results revealed just how much damage had been done over the years.
.
He was then sent to Dr. Jonathan Couch at Mercy Health – Paducah Neurosurgery. Danny underwent a C4 corpectomy to remove parts of his vertebrae in order to decompress his spinal cord and nerve endings. Danny remembers he almost immediately felt relief.
.
Four weeks later, he was walking without a cane or walker and began driving again. Undergoing surgery like this can seem like a big decision but it can be a truly life-changing experience.

Our hearts can race when we’re excited or nervous, but if that fluttering in your chest occurs when you’re completely relaxed, it could be a sign of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib).
Frequent fatigue, dizziness or lightheadedness could be signs of an irregular heartbeat. See your Mercy Health doctor to make sure your heart is healthy.
