Waitlist Heart Attack: Family Seeks Treatment Abroad

Roy Riedler suffered multiple heart attacks while on a two-month waitlist for a specialist, even as his twin brother had experienced a heart attack less than two weeks before.

A heart attack left Roy Riedler with moderate brain injuries, primarily in his occipital and frontal lobes, causing him to forget much of his past and lose the ability to identify much of his surroundings. Years after the brain injury and cardiac incident, Roy and Lynn Riedler are traveling to Mexico for psychedelic treatment they hope could help rebuild Roy’s memory and brain.
