“I used to have to wake up at night about five times, and now I only wake up once. I think the whole process was very quick, as it took 40 days. The first consultation was in the health unit, then I had tests and the doctor referred me to surgery. I received good care Very much, from the doctor to the cleaning lady. I can't say anything bad about anything.”
Today, Pino is recovering at home and being monitored by the Villa Deodoro Health Unit. At the station, specialists monitor the progress after surgery.
