Hello, my name is Marcos Santana.
I am 32 years old and I am a Jehovah's Witness.
In 2010 I was diagnosed with a dissecting aortic aneurysm.
Due to my strong religious convictions which are based on biblical teachings, I was not willing to receive blood transfusions
and therefore I could find no surgeon who would perform surgery on me.
With my existing alternatives in mind, I continued my search
until I discovered Dr. Ruyra and his team who indeed were willing and able to carry out the surgery.
In 2013 they operated on me, and did an excellent job...
of replacing my damaged Aorta with a synthetic tube
and thus they were able to resolve my problem.
I'm deeply grateful for the work that Dr. Ruyra and his team carried out
and I would like to thank him on me and all of my family's behalf...
for respecting my personal beliefs,
his confidence, his friendliness as well as his professionalism.
