When Nick Poplaski was feeling off at work, he thought he was just dehydrated. And when he woke up from a nightmare confused, and not recognizing his baby son, he thought he was having a panic attack.
He ended up in the hospital, his heart stopping more than once. At 35, he was having a heart attack. His medical journey included open heart surgery at Waterbury Hospital and then recovery. Watch his amazing story. , , , , , , ,

When we told Tom Williams, he was our 1,000th robotic patient, he had a special request to come and see our work behind the scenes and meet with surgeon Dr. Juan Diego Holguin in the OR. Successfully recovered from hernia surgery, the former pharmaceutical representative enjoyed the behind the scene tour and an interview with Fox 61 News. Most importantly, he is a great example of the power of technology to help patients recover quicker and with less pain. Weeks after surgery he is on his way to full recovery and looking forward to playing golf again in the near future.
