Bad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife (2023)
Wrong focus
I had previously listened to the podcast "Dr. Death" about the story of Paolo Macchiarini, and I was hoping for the same in depth coverage from this documentary. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed.
While I completely empathize with Benita, as she was conned by a narcissistic sociopath, this story isn't about her. But the series made it about her.
This should have been a series that focused on the lives that were destroyed by Paolo and all of the collateral damage that he caused. It should have described the horrendous suffering and pain that his subjects endured before their inevitable demise. It should have highlighted the brokenness of our healthcare systems globally. What a missed opportunity. This is coming from a RN in the United States. Sorry Netflix. Missed the mark on this one.
