In memory of Cindy – from MercyVet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is with deepest regret and sorrow that we inform our clients that Dr. Cindy Geisler passed away on 8\/5\/16, at UW Medical Center in Seattle, after suffering a massive stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Cindy, who in April developed deep thrombosis (blood clots) on her leg, had been fighting the prospect of pulmonary embolism with her usual optimism and grace. But last week a CT scan showed that little clots had indeed detached from the leg and lodged in her lungs. This caused hypertension in the lungs, and that in turn caused the reopening of a fetal communication we have in the heart (foramen ovale). This hole allowed the clots to shoot into her brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In spite of all our medical advances and the efforts of neurovascular surgeons, we lost her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our grieving MercyVet family will miss dear Dr. Cindy so much. She was loved by all, coworkers, clients, pets. Bernese mountain dogs everywhere will miss her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cindy is survived by her husband of 37 years, Mark Darrach, and her beloved Colima. Cindy had just turned 57 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Condolences sent to MercyVet will be forward to her family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
