Ethical stories: Marcello Ceccaroni, the Che Guevara of surgery
Marcello Ceccaroni is 45 years old and, young though he is, has recently risen to the role of Consultant in the Department of Gynecology at the Sacro Cuore Don Calabria Hospital in Negrar (Verona) thanks to his determination, dedication and enthusiasm. Yet our attention was caught not only by Marcello’s remarkable career but also his personal story, which is rich in experiences worth the telling. While talking with Marcello we discussed many things, from medicine, rock music and literature, to the history of the Cuban revolution and more besides, as we retraced his footsteps through a colourful life that would provide fascinating material for a screenplay.
