"I had a stroke and heart attack while traveling in Iowa, and was transported to University of Iowa. I was in need of a bypass surgery, the University of Iowa said I was not a good candidate for the procedure because there was no good targets for the bypass.

I returned to my home state Michigan and went to University of Michigan and test where ran under Dr. Shinichi Fukuhara, and he said he has confidence that I had good targets and candidate for a heart bypass surgery.

Here I am 3 years later, alive and doing well from the skillful hands of Dr. Fukuhara. I am very thankful for his superior skills."
