Bill Wingate will always hold on to hope, faith, and his bourbon. Thanks to his incredible community of friends and his wife, Martha, he has endured a medical journey few take and he has kept his humor in the process.
In 1997, while a student at Auburn University, Bill began to experience issues in his neck. He went to see a doctor who heard a heart murmur and sent him to a cardiologist. Soon thereafter, he underwent his first open-heart surgery for the Ross procedure to repair his aortic valve at University of Alabama Birmingham.
In 2013, another valve and an aneurysm.
In 2014 and after 15 months after the second surgery, he had developed an infection from having a cavity filled at the dentist. His pulmonary valve had failed as well as his tricuspid.
In 2019, another surgery.
And then again, on January 12, 2023, he had another patch put on an aneurysm.
Thank you, Bill, for sharing your story.
