Father and Daughter, Same Surgeon | Liverpool News

A father and daughter, both saved by the same heart surgeon, share a heartwarming and surreal medical story — Colin, who needed open-heart surgery at 36, was operated on by Dr. Ram Dhannapuneni, the very doctor who saved his newborn daughter Edith’s life just two years earlier. Nicknamed the “family surgeon,” Dr. Dhannapuneni has performed thousands of procedures at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, one of Europe’s pioneering pediatric cardiac centers since 1950. Now the UK’s second-largest heart surgery hub, Alder Hey continues to lead with innovation, as seen in the successful recovery of three-year-old Raffy, also operated on by Dr. Dhannapuneni. The hospital’s legacy, survival rates, and groundbreaking work shine through this touching tale of medicine, family, and fate.
