　「我的命是台灣醫師救回來的！」 47歲的義大利工程技師 Alberto Zaffaroni前年被 350公斤的柱子打到頭部，頭顱骨折、昏迷不醒，但卻在北醫醫療團隊救治下，奇蹟復元；他昨日帶著去年 11月在佛羅倫斯舉辦的國際馬拉松比賽成績來到北醫，獻給由吳志雄院長領軍的醫療團隊及其主治醫師神經外科蔣永孝主任，感恩於北醫當初的救命之恩。
　 Alberto Zaffaroni在 2007年 6月 15日於桃園縣觀音鄉的廠房內安裝機器時，一根重達 350公斤的柱子應聲倒下，當場打到他的頭部，使得頭顱嚴重骨折、昏迷不醒，而且由於頭顱嚴重破裂，腦脊髓液就不斷流出，即便在腰椎處放置引流管，每天還是有 100cc的腦脊髓液從鼻腔流出。
　經由北醫醫療團隊急救和手術，並在他的家人及在台雇主的細心及專業的照料之下， Alberto Zaffaron奇蹟復元，並於 2007年 8月 15日回到義大利米蘭；他回到義大利又再接受 6個月復健治療，義大利醫師告訴他「在義大利只有 2、 3位醫師可以做這種手術」。
　義大利的復建後醫師並判定 Alberto Zaffaro尚有 45%的工作能力，於是 Alberto依然回到工作崗位，持續到世界各地組裝機器。

Italian engineer thanks Taiwanese surgeons for saving his life

Taipei, March 18 (CNA) An Italian engineer expressed his gratitude at a press conference Wednesday to the Taiwanese surgeons who brought him back from the brink of death following a workplace accident last year.
Alberto Zaffaroni, 47, an independent engineer who does contract work installing sophisticated medical equipment in hospitals, also lauded the outstanding skills of the surgeons at Taipei Medical University Hospital (TMUH) who treated him for a serious skull fracture.

Hospital President Wu Chih-hsiung said at the press conference that Zaffaroni was hit on the head by a 350-kg falling pillar while he was installing a machine at a hospital in Guanyin township in northern Taiwan's Taoyuan County in June 2007.

The accident broke Zaffaroni's skull and he was rushed to TMUH for emergency treatment, where he underwent two separate rounds of brain surgery. He returned home to Milan Aug. 15 that same year, where he had six months of rehabilitation treatment and where his doctors said there are only two or three surgeons in Italy capable of performing the surgery he received.

Chiang Yung-hsiao, director of the TMUH neurosurgery department, said he told Zaffaroni he was very lucky, as 85 percent of injuries such as his are fatal.

Zaffaroni has returned to work since his recovery, traveling the world to install sophisticated machinery, although he said he now treats Taiwan as his second home because the people here have taken such good care of him.
