Short filmTranscript
00:00 Macarini was a superstar surgeon.
00:02 He's this good-looking man of mystery,
00:04 a miracle worker.
00:05 His technique was groundbreaking.
00:07 The artificial trachea for people who had problems
00:09 with their windpipe.
00:10 But the problem is, Paolo's surgeries are failing.
00:16 Paolo was selling a miracle.
00:18 People want to believe in a miracle.
00:21 But something is off.
00:23 He was just so desperate to show this idea could work.
00:28 And that had deadly consequences.

00:31 The patient is developing all sorts of complications.
00:34 Paolo's synthetic trachea clogs up.
00:36 The feeling that you're about to suffocate all the time.
00:41 It was medical torture.
00:44 He lied consistently throughout his career
00:46 about his credentials.
00:48 Paolo was fooling everybody, professionally and personally.
00:52 Macarini lied about the success of the patients.
00:55 While Paolo's patients were dying.
00:58 There were patients being actively recruited
01:00 and operated on.
01:01 He had to be stopped.
01:03 For me, the question has always been,
01:06 how did he get away with it for as long as he did?
