Bio: http://www.tgmg.org/providers/cardiology/guillermo-cintron/
Much of what has become one of the leading transplant centers in the country is at his doing.
I was happy that he was able to stop by and examine me. This man possesses a depth of knowledge and skill that a few of achieved.
But truly his greatest gifts are his countenance and as an inspirational leader.
He sat with me and we discuss the history of heart medicine and transplants rising from the mere 50% survival rate to near 95% today.
He told me of the 80 people that sprang into action when my organ became available. And there is a backup for every process and person. Five helicopters and two jets aid collection and transport.
But is staggering as the logistics are - the most impressive thing here is the attitude, commitment and dedication of the people who do this work.
That begins with Dr. Cintron.
