            [0] => Samantha Krook knew something wasn’t quite right. A few days after Thanksgiving, the 26-year-old New Ipswich resident noticed her feet and ankles were swelling and she was having difficulty breathing. “I thought it was odd, so I reached out to Annette Brooks, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse at Monadnock Internal Medicine,” says Samantha. “She ordered some tests, and I had an ultrasound and CT scan, both of which came back normal. At this point, I had gained close to 15 pounds and the swelling had continued to get worse.”

An echocardiogram was then ordered, which revealed a couple of abnormalities. Samantha was referred to Dr. Jonathan Eddinger, a lipidologist at MCH, who diagnosed her with congestive heart failure. “I’m not sure what I expected but this was definitely not it,” says Samantha. “I was prescribed medication and a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed at Catholic Medical Center, which came back normal. As of right now, the cause of my condition is still a bit of a mystery, but I am so blessed to be healthy and so thankful for my doctors.”

One thing that’s not a mystery is how she feels about Monadnock Community Hospital. “I would highly recommend MCH to anyone. I was blown away by my care here. I genuinely felt my health was important to each of my providers and getting me the help I needed was a priority.”

Heartfelt praise, indeed.
