His blood pressure must also be monitored regularly. During these examinations, an excess of calcium was found to be produced by the thyroid gland, which is harmful to the kidney. He therefore underwent an operation to remove it.<\/p><p>One day, Ricardo's doctor asked him to take part in an RTS program on the subject. He accepted, hoping that his experience could help others. This experience with television, the fact of having to tell and testify, was like a form of therapy. It gave him a better understanding of certain traumas, and helped him to move forward.<\/p><p>\"The memories came flooding back.
