When Benita Alexander, an award-winning producer from NBC was sent to document Dr. Paolo Macchiarini’s medical operations, she believed she was in the presence of a super surgeon, a revolutionary force in the world of science who had found the answer to a vast array of illnesses. But he fooled her. And, even worse, he fooled his patients, who grew more and more sick under his “careful watch.”

This is a story about a man so wicked in his ways, that he managed to convince everyone that he was a competent surgeon and doctor to many high-profile figures such as the Pope, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
And the more time Benita Alexander spent with him, the more infatuated she became. Blinded by love, the reporter believed every word of his. Today, she believes he must stand trial for all his crimes.
