After a 38 -day stay in the Roman university clinic “Agostino Gemelli”, the recovery phase for Pope Francis started. The extensive physiotherapy is accompanied by the same team of doctors, who also provided the Pontifex in the Gemelli hospital.
Francis is provided by Professor Luigi Carbone in his apartment in the Santa Marta Guest House. The 56-year-old specialist in internal medicine is the Pope’s personal doctor.
He had already treated Francis in his apartment in the Vatican for chronic asthma and bronchial diseases before his condition deteriorated, so that the delivery was required on February 14.
Pontifex owes his life nurse
His loyal nurse Massimiliano Strappetti has been on the side of Franziskus since 2022. Nobody knows the suffering of the 88-year-old and the 56-year-old Romein. He is the pope’s personal nurse. In 2021, Strappetti had received bowel operation for the Pontifex. Francis then stated that the “experienced man” “had saved his life”.
Professional doctor is on the Francis page
The main surgeon Sergio Alfieri, head of the medical team, who treated the pope in the Gemelli clinic, will also take care of the Pope after his release from the hospital. The specialist for intestinal surgery has already worked twice, 2021 and 2023 and has already carried out more than 9,000 interventions. He is considered one of the most respected surgeons in his department.
Pope wants to listen to doctors
The recovery takes two months. The pope was advised not to meet groups of people at this time. The patient wants to adhere to the recommendations of the doctors.
During the recovery phase, the pope will only work to a very limited extent, meet people and accept other obligations. Only after his full recovery could the 88-year-old be able to resume his usual work rhythm. He doesn’t think about dismissal.
