Scarface reflects on open-heart surgery
Scarface divulged that he barely survived death after undergoing open-heart surgery recently, owing to the prowess of one of the finest heart surgeons in the country.
The Geto Boys icon shared an Instagram post Tuesday (October 8) in which he said that this summer he had to undergo surgery to fix an aortic aneurysm and repair a leaky valve but found out that it was something much more serious when they opened him up.
Alongside a photo of himself and his surgeon, Dr. Andrea Quarti, Scarface wrote: “This is the man, one of the most sought after surgeons in the world, when I was told, ‘this Dr. is hard to get’ he’s one of the best if not THE BEST.”
Scarface uncovered that during the surgery, his aneurysm had ruptured the entire circumference of his aorta-and that would have been fatal. “[B]ut nope, no surprise to him, I woke 24hrs+ later,” Scarface added, “and I asked him, why me doc, out of all the people you could’ve worked on?
“He looked up to the heavens and he did this [one finger in the air emoji] wow, and again I say I’m grateful.”
