First of all, it\u2019s a little minimizing to call Paolo Macchiarini<\/a><\/strong> a \u201cbad surgeon.\u201d He\u2019s more than just a bad surgeon. He\u2019s bad at lots of other things, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But his ill-advised, life-ending experimental surgeries were what really put Macchiarini on the map, getting the attention of the folks behind Netflix\u2019s Bad Surgeon<\/em><\/a>. Putting aside the genuinely impressive stories that he allegedly put out into the world \u2014 like that the Pope was on board to officiate his wedding and that he\u2019d performed surgery on at least two separate American presidents \u2014 his real show-stopper came in the form of a plastic replacement trachea and his willingness to stick it into people\u2019s necks. The process reads like something out of a poorly researched science fiction blockbuster<\/a>, and involves rubbing a fake plastic windpipe down with stem cells from the donor\u2019s bone marrow, hoping that the stem cells will do some science magic and turn into a new throat.<\/p>\n

Plastic and bone marrow are great for a lot of things, but tagging in for pieces of throat on a permanent basis isn\u2019t one of them. The results were horrendous \u2014 three out of three patients treated with Macchiarini\u2019s experimental procedure were dead within five years of their surgery, and all experienced nightmarish complications. Meanwhile, Macchiarini\u2019s \u201cresearch\u201d wound up at the receiving end of a load of scientific skepticism, and allegations of fraud followed close behind.<\/p>\n

What consequences did ‘Bad Surgeon’s’ Paolo Macchiarini face?<\/h2>\n
