Surprise!
Once they had gotten back to New York after their trip to Mexico, Rene knew something just wasn’t sitting right, so he decided to go to Mt. Sinai Medical Center and get a CAT scan to try and figure out once and for all what was causing all of this internal disruption in his body. This CAT scan not only revealed the source of all of his problems, but it had answered years of unbelievable pain.
The results of this CAT scan were simply incomprehensible… The doctors are Mt. Sinai discovered that Rene had been living with a rubber tube resting against parts of his stomach for 30 years without knowing it. In an interview, Rene said, “My jaw just dropped. I had no idea how it got there”. Shortly after this discovery, the tube was removed and Rene made it his mission to have the piece of tube in custody so he could use it as evidence in a lawsuit against Elmhurst hospital.
