Gregorio Maldini
Il Maratoneta Col Bisturi
I was born in Rome on march 12 1965. Graduated from medical school in 1990. completed a residency in general surgery in Rome in 1995. I always loved tropical beaches but I needed advanced surgical training. So I moved to Hawaii for five years and to Miami for another 2 years. Came back to Italy in 2003 but the fog and rain of northern Italy (Bergamo) were not for me. In 2007 I moved back to Hawaii to enjoy Triathlon training and surfing.
Currently I’m an hepatobiliary surgeon at Straub Hospital in Honolulu.
I left Italy because working conditions and salary were simply out of sanity. Liver transplant surgery at 20 euros an hour before taxes. I did not want to be a slave. I hated corruption, bad weather and terrible tax system.
Best memories are too many, but swimming or running at sunset after a successful complex operation makes me feel really good!
Hawaii for outdoor water enthusiast is simply the best place in the world! Hospital system is excellent too.
Italiany is very interesting and our italian politicians should take note. Why the best are leaving the country and most important why they are not coming back!
Always good mood and a smile while riding my red Ducati to work or to the beach.
