Bad Surgeon: Love under the Knife plot

In 2011, Paolo Macchiarini was praised around the world when he devised a groundbreaking operation that replaced the windpipes of desperately ill patients with plastic alternatives surrounded by their own stem cells. He performed the operation in countless countries, and it seemed like it would change organ donation forever as it proved that synthetic organs could be used. In both his personal and professional life, the charismatic Macchiarini achieved divine status. However, it turned out that the surgeon was a compulsive liar, manipulator and fantasist whose patients died after an unbearable ordeal. The series includes testimonies from the families of his victims, his former colleagues and those who fought to bring him to justice.

Beautiful documentary about a horrible person who simply uses people as laboratory animals and thinks he can afford everything in everyday life. It may not be as bad, but I have been in many hospitals and sometimes humanity is hard to find and you are just a number...
