It was the second night of Benita Alexander's romantic getaway in Moscow, and so far everything had been perfect.
You know, the typical beautiful hotel, the tour guy, the everything over the top, the beautiful dinners.
He often on these trips would give me more jewelry. He was always giving me beautiful jewelry.
They'd spent the day's sight seeing and shopping and had just settled down for dinner at the Cafe Pushkin restaurant. The man who had swept her off her feet seven months earlier was sitting across the table.
This man knows exactly how attractive and good looking he is, and he knows he looks like George Clooney.
They'd only been seeing each other for a short time, but Benita knew she was already in love. He was handsome, caring and successful. In fact, he was here on a business trip, a new clinical trial. He'd invited Benita along, but she almost didn't make it.
For months after the surgery, I'm back and forth to the doctor constantly, and they can't get rid of this infection.
He'd invited Benita along, but she almost didn't make it. Just a few weeks earlier, she'd had surgery and gotten an infection, but after sam antibiotics, things seemed to be getting better. Besides, she really wanted to see Moscow.
And then the infection cleared up enough that my doctor said you're fine, You're okay to travel.
But now at dinner, it was clear something was very wrong.
And I started having horrible pain, like piercing pain.
At first, she tried to tough it out, hoping to make it through the dessert, but this was just too much.
I remember squeezing Paula's hand or to the table, and I just look at him and I say, my love, something's wrong.
A look of concern flashed across Paolo's face. Everything's gonna be okay, he said. He got up from the table, threw down some cash and grabbed her coat.
And I could barely walk, barely get in the taxi.
They made it back to their hotel.
Room and he said, lie down on the bed.
Benita quickly pulled off her clothes as best she could, so he could see the wound.
He looked at the incision and he looked at me and he said, do you trust me? And I just looked at him, and I said, get me another glass of wine.
Paolo gave a soft smile and then walked to the mini fridge. He pulled out a bottle of wine, then filled a glass to the brim and handed.
It to her, which I promptly slugged and I laid down, and.
He said, where are your scissors.
I have these travel scissors that I was using to cut the gauze that I was covering the incision with.
And I said, they're in the bathroom. And he goes in the bathroom and he gets my.
Travel scissors and he is peroxideer something whatever he had to quote unquote sterilize them.
He came back over to her, looked her in the.
Eyes, and he said, do you trust me? And I just nodded my head.
And he took those scissors and he plunged them into my incisors.
The pain was unlike anything she'd felt. Benita has a high pain threshold, but for a second she thought she was going to black out. One hand was gripping the bed and the other was holding onto Paolo's shoulder. Paolo told her that he had released the pus from her infection and it would help her heal. She believed him because she trusted him. She wasn't the only one. Fellow
surgeons trusted Paolo. Patients trusted Paolo, but this dashing, globe trotting, miracle working doctor would betray them all.
I believe in miracles, I believe in magic, I believe in love. And it just seemed like this is going to be good.
Of course, why not?
And we saw more and more life in these manuscripts.
Whoever said love is blind wasn't kidding. Followed Doctor Death Season three Miracle Man on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening right now, or you can listen early and add free by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or in the Wondery app
