I should share you my pride of and appreciation to the beautiful youth of Egypt in Germany.
When pain increased, complications got worse and the heartbeats of my lifetime mate became irregular, randomly screamed, we had to resort to tough solutions that concluded with 3 electric shocks within 10 days. The deferred solution became inescapable and the decision from which we have run away for years became inevitable.
Now the chest must be incised, the heart must be stopped, the valves must be replaced and the heart power must be enhanced with urgent surgery. An atrium has been enlarged, a ventricle has been exhausted and fluids leaked to the lungs. It was not only her heart that was ill, but also her thyroid which caused the onset of this was larger and bigger. Medications increased, day after day, until they became dozens. I searched everywhere for the best: Japan, United States or Germany. The world developed, heart surgeries became increasingly specific. We found the creator of the new heart surgery without chest incision and the suffering it causes during and after the operation is a German one. It is true that his method is now applied in many medical centers worldwide, but I found some of his students in Germany who are internationally respected, with outstanding results in precision, swiftness and use of technological devices that make open-heart surgery just a few centimeters incision.
We consulted, trusted God and chose Germany. We followed the best student of the procedure creator, a few years ago. He locates in a suburban of a city called Bad Berka, Germany.
I called and was astonished to find an Egyptian young man, Tamer Ewaiss, working at the hospital. He called me back, arranged the procedures with me. We travelled to one of the most beautiful hospitals I have ever seen.
When my son, daughter, brother and his wife, my lifetime mate and I arrived Bad Berka, our astonishment and pride increased. Dr. Tamer Ewaiss, 40 years old, is a distinguished consultant specializing in cardiac valve surgery, especially aorta. He is not just humane and Egyptian, but is also wise, outstanding and respected by all. He is one of the top 5 consultants of this procedure in the hospital.
Not only Ewaiss, but also the hardworking Egyptian Dr. Mina Roman, consultant assistant in operations who worked in France and learnt German in just 8 months to work at this place, seeking to have the experience and the certificate that will soon qualify him to be a consultant.
Then, I found some of these young Egyptians in cardiology, radiology and other departments.
I was surprised also to find that the head of spine operations is a 42-year Egyptian Alexandria University graduate. He came to welcome me with 4 creative successful Egyptian surgeons from his department, who assist him in his work.
Wherever we go, we find them. They are very respectable.
Thanks God, my wife recovered after the procedure. Our children from Egypt pleased us at the moments of pain, fear and waiting.
O youth of Egypt, you are its hope and you can do it.
With my wife recovery, life came back to me. My belief and faith in my country became stronger when I saw its youth struggle, compete and get respected, even out of their country.
Thanks God
