Gall Bladder Surgery

“When I needed gallbladder surgery, I put my trust in NRMC and my doctors — cardiologist Dr. Chris Ingram, general surgeons Dr. Bill Ball and Dr. Damian DeFrancesch. I knew my gallbladder had to come out, so I said “Let’s do it.” When I woke up in recovery, I was already doing fine — no problems at all. In a couple of days, I even got out of the house and made a trip to the woods where I hunt. Every single person, no matter what department they worked in, played a part in the excellent care I received. I remember the old days when people had to leave town for gallbladders surgery but not any more. NRMC is a gift, and I’m so glad we have the choice to stay in Natchitoches.”
