💙 A Second Opinion Saved Her Leg 💙

Amanda Fortson, a grandmother of 10, was told she might need her left leg amputated after a clogged artery cut off blood flow. Refusing to give up, she sought a second opinion at Conemaugh Health System.

Vascular surgeon Dr. John Gray performed minimally invasive surgery and restored blood flow. Just days later, Amanda was walking again with no amputation needed.

“Because of him, I’m back on my feet, both of them, and beyond thrilled,” Amanda said.

🙏 Sometimes a second opinion can save more than hope, it can save your life.

Think you might have the flu? Here’s what to do to take care of yourself and protect others:

- Stay home and rest. Avoid work, school or public places. Rest helps your body fight the infection and prevents it from spreading to others.

- Monitor your symptoms. Keep track of severity, duration and any changes in symptoms like fever, chills, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, headache, runny or stuffy nose.

- Hydrate and manage symptoms. Drink plenty of water or herbal tea. Over-the-counter medications can help with symptoms. Avoid alcohol and smoking.

- Seek medical care if needed. Call your healthcare provider if you experience trouble breathing, chest pain, severe weakness, confusion, persistent high fever or worsening symptoms, especially if you are pregnant, older or have chronic conditions. Early treatment can help reduce complications.

- Protect your community. Cover coughs and sneezes, wash your hands frequently and stay home until you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication.

She feared she was dying. Her husband, a paramedic, thought so, too. About an hour earlier, Pam Vyhonsky passed out at home. She was rushed by ambulance to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center's Emergency Room, where Dr. D’Shea Mackenzie and Dr. Michael Galuska diagnosed a pulmonary embolism (PE).

As an ER nurse for 38 years, Pam took care of dozens of PE patients. And she knew she could well be staring death in the face.

“PE is a mysterious, sneaky, hidden disease,” said Pam, nurse manager of Conemaugh’s ER. “I have no idea how I got it or what caused it. But because of my ER background, I knew exactly what had to be done. And I’m just grateful I was diagnosed by doctors Mackenzie and Galuska and treated by Dr. DeKornfeld.”

After spending a day recovering in Conemaugh’s intensive care unit (ICU) and two days in the cardiac-care unit, Pam returned home. The following Monday, she was back to work.

“People tell me I nearly died and I’m lucky to be alive,” Pam said. “But I feel absolutely fine now, back to work and enjoying my regular life."

“But if not for Doctor DeKornfeld, the operation and Conemaugh’s ER, I wouldn’t be here today."
