Top Heart Surgeon Gorelik Dies After Stroke
Dr. Aaron N. Gorelik, renowned heart surgeon who saved many lives and helped a Greek boy Stellakis Parthenopoulos, died at Parkchester General Hospital after a cerebral stroke. Once a rheumatic fever patient, he built a career with a three part operation to strengthen the heart and performed over 600 surgeries. He envisioned a free hospital in Israel and was received at the White House by President Eisenhower last month.
