Miller Medical Center - Business Profile A MEDICAL EMERGENCY By the time Linda Tijerina, of Lake Worth, Florida, arrived in early June at the ER at Westlake Freestanding Emergency Department — an Extension of Wellington Regional Medical Center — she was experiencing severe upper abdominal pain. Hospital admission was quickly recommended, and Tijerina was transferred to the newly opened Alan B. Miller Medical Center. There, she had extensive testing, blood work and imaging, including CT scans, MRI and ultrasound. She was diagnosed with gallstone pancreatitis, a medical emergency, during which pancreatic digestive enzymes become trapped inside the pancreas by gallstones and cannot flow into the small intestine, causing severe inflammation. Tijerina would need surgery to remove her gallbladder. FIRST PATIENT TO RECEIVE ROBOTIC- ASSISTED GALLBLADDER SURGERY AT ALAN B.
