Punishing pain pounded in

Bob Reynold’s head.
A vessel in his brain had ballooned and was seeping blood.
A stroke was imminent.
Interventional neurologist André Fredieu, a specialist in

delicate, minimally invasive procedures at Winchester
Medical Center stepped in. With a catheter he inserted
tiny platinum coils into the bulge, sealing off the weakened
vessel before it could burst.
Bob was home in Falling Waters, WV in two days.

He knows he was fortunate to have his life touched
by the talents of the caregivers awaiting him
at Winchester Medical Center.
