Hello, I’m Yuli Saenz. I had an accident while going down the stairs at my house. I fell, got tangled up, and fractured two spinal discs as well as my sacral area. This left me unable to move, lying on the floor. Because of this, my family had to call an ambulance, and I was taken directly to Hospital Serena del Mar, where I received emergency care and later underwent spinal surgery.
Healthcare professionals
Involved in the procedure
I was hospitalized for more than 20 days because, logically, I couldn't move. However, despite the pain, those days were emotionally uplifting. Even though I was in severe pain, I met people who, on earth, we call angels: high-quality nurses, an excellent medical team, and physical therapists.
At Hospital Serena del Mar, I found joy and people with great energy who bring happiness and peace to their patients. Thanks to the spinal surgery, known as arthrodesis, I have regained my mobility and can walk again.
