THE STORY OF ANGELO REKLITIS My father, Angelo Reklitis, was one of the first patients Dr. Keon performed the bypass surgery on so many years ago. I believe it was 1969 when he had the surgery and he was 38 years old. For the next 9 years, we lived at least 75% at the Civic Hospital and the Heart Institute. I remember many nights his physician, Dr. Goodman Cohen, and several other physicians would come to our home to see him, especially when we were having a crisis, and they would subsequently have him taken to the emergency. The first few years were a terrible strain on us but with the care of the Civic Hospital and the Heart Institute, Dr. Keon and Dr. Cohen, were able to keep my father with us even though he was bed ridden most of the time. We made his bedroom comfortable with a big chair, a television, and my uncle Matthew and other family would come and spend the evenings with him watching hockey or talking of old times. It gives my family a sense of contentment knowing that my father was one of many pioneers that helped pave the way to make it possible for Dr. Keon and his team of relentless doctors who persisted in hours of research and experiments to bring us to this level of fighting heart disease. I remember all the experimental drugs and techniques they used on my father which now almost 40 years later are probably still used in their fight against heart disease or at the least, helped in some way. So I ask you to not forget people like my father, who although did not have the chance to live a long and healthy life, assisted in so many other people being able to do so now. We lost my dad on November 8, 1978. He was only 47 years old. - Meni Reklitis (to share your story | Partagez votre histoire: 40@ottawaheart.ca)
