A surgeon at a Milan hospital was
arrested Thursday for allegedly breaking a 78-year-old woman's
femur so as to try out a "bikini-style" operation to "train
myself", according to a wiretap. "I didn't put stitches in, I
put in a zip so I can open her up again," said the orthopaedics
chief at the Gaetano Pini Hospital, Norberto Confalonieri.
Confalonieri was arrested for bid-rigging and corruption and is
under investigation for bodily harm.
