Marlin Santana, 32, reunited with the medical staff at NYC Health + Hospitals who saved her life following a severe heart attack in the Bronx, New York. NYC Health + Hospitals reported that Santana began experiencing severe chest pains, breathing difficulties, and heavy arms while finishing a kickboxing class. [1]

According to NYC Health + Hospitals, Santana called her older brother during the emergency, and he advised her to go immediately to the emergency room at Jacobi North Central Bronx. The medical staff conducted emergency surgery to treat her condition and placed an Impella device directly in her heart to increase blood flow. [1]

This event mirrors previous patient reunions with critical care teams. As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, bicycle crash survivor Ramsey Uhter reunited with her Illinois trauma team one year after receiving emergency life-saving treatment following a collision in Marion. [1][6]
