24/08/2025: I've been hospitalized for eight days at San Matteo Hospital in Pavia for a broken ankle, and I must say I've been fortunate to have top-notch doctors, nurses, and healthcare assistants around me, but some will remain in my heart, because they were there during my time of great suffering.
Elisa, sweet and patient as well as beautiful. Always available with her kindness and smile.
Gaetano and Giusi, the first ones I met the night I was hospitalized, welcomed me with a smile and joy that never made me feel alone.
Giusi, very sweet and smiling, and Gaetano, always cheerful, which improves the quality of life of a hospitalized patient.
Monica, with her sweetness and gentleness in taking blood samples and injections... whom I call the "fairy hand."
Carmen, with her beautiful eyes, kind, cheerful, and always ready to help those who suffer and bring a smile.
Salvatore, handsome, kind, and very human, available to meet any patient's needs.
Salvino, there's an adjective to describe him: "sunny." His good morning, sir, with a smile on his lips, brightens the day of our patients, and he's always ready to help, not out of obligation but out of love.
I met Sabrina in the last few days, but I've gotten to know her. Sweet, sensitive, and gentle with her patients.
Federica, beautiful and sensitive, always ready to help, with patience and gentleness.
Cristina, so elegant yet gentle and kind with us patients.
Tommaso, such a kind, helpful young man who does his job because he loves it. He takes care of the patient with such gentleness.
Lastly, I want to mention a small woman, but so big-hearted: Agata. I've never met a sweeter woman, one who carries out her work as if it were a life mission. THANK YOU everyone, and I apologize if I've forgotten anyone.
03/08/2025: An excellent hospital that makes the much-vaunted Humanitas look like a novice hospital. The stroke unit literally works miracles. The staff (doctors, nursing assistants, and nurses) are all knowledgeable and kind. I can only thank God for this place. I wish all the staff the best for the invaluable service they provide to others.
