Ronald Stang was in the basement when a ruptured aortic aneurysm very nearly ended his life. As his abdomen began to fill with blood, Ronald miraculously located a phone and dialed 9-1-1, even as sharp pains began to signal massive internal bleeding. The ambulance arrived, rushing a fading Ronald to the closest community hospital. Doctors there realized the severity of his condition and phoned vascular surgeon, Dr. Joseph Giglia of University Hospital. Immediately, Dr. Giglia arranged to have Ronald sent to University Hospital via Air Care, University’s emergency helicopter.
Once there, he received the appropriate care, and within four months, had recovered enough to mow the yard. It seems everyone has their own route to becoming living proof.
