Cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon Orlando López de Victoria has drawn attention for the way he brings medicine and faith together in the operating room. With nearly 30 years of experience, he says that before every surgery he invites Jesus to be present.
For him, his work is not limited to medical technique. He says that his hands are an instrument in God’s hands and that every operation requires scientific preparation, precision, and deep spiritual dedication. His way of approaching the most complex cases stems from that conviction.
His testimony has circulated among people who see medicine as a space where prayer also exists. Orlando continues to acknowledge the importance of knowledge, equipment, and surgical experience. Before beginning, he simply pauses, prays, and enters the operating room with that companionship in mind 🙏
