Condolences to the family of Dr. Leal. I never knew him personally but was a former patient of his son, Dr Rolando Leal while he worked at the Gastro clinic in Memphis, Tn. I am so sorry for your loss and hope the days ahead bring good memories and peace to the whole family. Dr. Rolando was a wonderful doctor and I am sure his father was very proud of him.
To the family of Dr. Leal; Dr. Leal saved my life when I had my total knee surgery at St.Francis Hospital.I was in rehab taking therapy,Dr. Leal came to see me every day,so the day before I was to be discharged,Dr.Leal came in to see me.He felt my knee ask if I was having any pain,I told him no more than usual when Pt.is walking me.He went back to the nursing station,and I thought I was good to go home the next day.To make this story short,Dr.Leal knew by the touch he placed on my knee I had a blood cloth,how he knew,only thru GOD:He saved my life as a matter of fact I had 2 blood clots in my lungs.I was in the hospital 7 more days.THANK GOD FOR DR.Leal,THANK GOD FOR DR.LEAL,just wanted to share this with you.I do not believe I would have been here today,if it had not been for that man of GOD,DR.LEAL. May GOD continue to bless his family,and keep you in his care.REST IN PEACE DR.LEAL; Forever Grateful———Mary L. Rogers
So thankful for the contributions of the Cuban American community in the U.S. and Memphis who came here fleeing the Communist overthrow of the mid 1900’s. God Bless you. RIP sir.
