Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is doing more for Same Day Surgery patients.

Patient comfort is always our priority. But for Elizabeth Merrill, who had spent the last five years of her life in constant pain because of a broken nose suffered during a Tai Kwon Do tournament, comfort wasn’t a word she often used.

"I had headaches all the time and I couldn’t sleep well. I was taking Tylenol everyday. Last year I was in college and I couldn’t focus. It was like having a cold all the time, and it would always ache up through my sinus cavity—it was very uncomfortable. Sometimes when I got a cold, I’d just start crying because it hurt so bad. It took away all the things I loved to do."

She was told by other doctors that nothing could be done. But thanks to Dr. John O’Day and the staff at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, her headaches are gone, and she’s able to sleep through the night. She’s even looking forward to starting Tai Kwon Do again.

"Since the surgery at Wentworth-Douglass I can breathe better. I sleep better. I have been able to walk to class without feeling winded. And Dr. O’Day was great and the nurses in the day surgery were awesome. They really pampered me."
