Hats Off to the Italian CI Surgeons...

The mom of a newly diagnosed baby asked the Italian forum: "Where does one go for cochlear implant surgery?"

And the Italian forum responded with 103 comments, each and every comment praising the work of their surgeon, different surgeons, throughout Italy.

I actually, accidentally posted an Italian blog on this blog, but I'm translating it in English, to share it with anyone reading this blog. We all pray for doctors with a human side, not just capable surgeons. A guy left this comment on the forum about one of the Italian surgeons and I just wanted to share it, because too often, we only hear and read about negative situations....

The surgeon's name is Professor Alessandro Martini, Padova:

This is kind of off-topic, but it deserves to be told. I returned from a visit to Padova last Friday, where I was going to see whether or not I was a potential candidate for the cochler implant. No operation for me! I was able to completely gain back what I'd lost using digital hearing aids (I know that most of the time, digital hearing aids don't necessarily provide all that is missing, but I have EVAS and my hearing loss seems to be fluctuating)
Professor Martini was not present at the series of testing, when I was evaluated by his equipe...

20 minutes ago, I received a telephone call. It was Professor Martini who apologized for not having been present at the appointment, and he took the time to explain the results and ensure me that all was proceeding well. He told me that if in the future, I ever needed anything to call him personally.

In this shitty Italy, there are still EXTRAORDINARY and EMPATHETIC SURGEONS capable of making me get all choked up with demonstrations of this type. He is just an incredible person aside from being a well-known scientist and surgeon.
