\"\"<\/a>\u201cI could never find words to express how thankful and how grateful I am\u201d, is what Dwayne Bull said after his husband Arthur\u2019s surgery at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. On September 11th<\/sup>, 2024, Mr. Arthur Dower Bull took a short walk with his husband Dwayne to shop in their neighborhood. After about a block of walking, Arthur began to show signs of passing out. At that moment, Dwayne immediately called 911. Leading up to that moment Arthur passed out, Dwayne explained, \u201cArthur had been complaining about pain in his left leg and shortness of breath since having two surgeries two weeks prior.\u201d The ambulance arrived and Arthur was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Arthur was being evaluated in the ER while Dwayne waited for news on his condition in the waiting room. A doctor approached Dwayne and told him that Arthur\u2019s heart had stopped and he had to be revived. When the doctor told him that, Dwayne said, \u201cMy heart stopped, and I had never experienced that mental state in my life.\u201d Dwayne recounted seeing a team of people standing over Arthur attempting to revive him again. He says, \u201cI felt the pain of losing someone for the first time in my life and the hardest part was not being able to do anything about it.\u201d For Dwayne, sitting in the waiting room feeling alone, nervous, and scared and not knowing what was happening, was the hardest thing for him.<\/p>\n

Then, Dr. Aditya Mangla appeared. Dwayne recalls that Dr. Mangla was \u201cextremely calm\u201d and had a \u201cpositive presence about him\u201d. \u201cHe gave me peace\u201d, said Dwayne. Dr. Mangla told Dwayne that Arthur had blood clots in his lungs and blood stopped flowing to his heart. He expressed that if he did not perform immediate surgery Arthur wouldn\u2019t make it and if he does perform the surgery, there still might be a chance that he wouldn\u2019t make it because of the severity of his condition. Dr. Mangla told Dwayne there was a \u201c30% chance that Arthur could survive the surgery\u201d. Dwayne says Dr. Mangla, \u201cassured me that he was extremely knowledgeable in this area of medicine and that he and Arthur were in the right place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Mangla allowed Dwayne to see Arthur one last time before surgery. Dr. Mangla told Dwayne, \u201cI will treat him like he\u2019s one of mine\u201d. Dwayne waited in the waiting room for 90 minutes but remained positive because he knew Arthur was in good hands due to Dr. Mangla\u2019s sincerity and level of experience. Then Dr. Mangla appeared with a certainty and enduring smile expressing that the surgery was successful. He then showed Dwayne pictures of the blood clots that were removed from Arthur\u2019s lungs. When Dwayne finally got to see Arthur after the surgery, Arthur\u2019s first words to him were, \u201cYou\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dwayne would like to thank Dr. Mangla for the impeccable service he received. \u201cDr. Mangla is an angel,\u201d Dwayne said. He would also like to thank Dr. Mangla\u2019s team, the ICU nurses, and the rest of the hospital staff. \u201cThe hospital should be given an award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dwayne and Arthur moved here from California last year and have been enjoying the sights and culture of the city. Thanks to Dr. Mangla, his team, and the hospital staff, they can continue to do so. \u201cDr. Mangla saved the life of my loved one. I wanted to say thank you, and I will never forget your unconditional support or allowing God to use you by the power of prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n
