Emergent Surgery to Strength

One Friday evening, Tara Spencer’s eight-year-old daughter Zara started complaining of an earache. While she seemed fine at first, her earache quickly worsened even after treating it with Tylenol and antibiotics.

After a second emergency room visit on Saturday and another trip to see Zara’s primary care physician on Monday, Tara was advised to take her daughter to the Emergency Department.
