Suspended surgeon caught operating in apartment

Carlo Bravi always carried scalpels, forceps, and scissors in his trolley, as if he were a fast-paced surgeon. The seventy-three-year-old Roman continued to operate even at home, despite being charged with murder for the death of a woman and disfiguring another. He had also been suspended from the medical association. This time, he was caught by the NAS Carabinieri in this apartment in Quadraro, a neighborhood in southeastern Rome, while he was performing cosmetic ear surgery. On the table, without any regard for hygiene standards, was a South American patient, who was subsequently taken to the hospital. For the doctor charged along with the scrub nurse, this is yet another legal proceeding. He was already under investigation for the death of Simonetta Calfus, the sixty-two-year-old who died four months ago after liposuction, and for another cosmetic surgery that left a second patient injured. A judge had already banned him from practicing medicine. But he would never abandon his scalpel and his earnings. Precautionary measures could now be triggered for Bravi.
