What Happened

On July 23rd, 2003, Dave went in for routine triple bypass surgery at the Dayton Heart Hospital. He had serious and unexpected complications, including a stroke.

Dave's bypass surgery was a success, and we have nothing but praise for Dr. Rank and the care team at the Dayton Heart Hospital.
