It was the second night of Benita Alexander's romantic getaway in Moscow. 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 guide, everything over the top, the beautiful dinners. He often on these trips would give me more jewelry.
Starting point is 00:03:18 He was always giving me beautiful jewelry. They'd spent the day sightseeing and shopping and had just settled down for dinner at the Cafe push in 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But after Samantha Biotics, 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,
Starting point is 00:04:32 but this was just too much. I remember squeezing Pallos' hand or 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 going to be OK. He said he got up from the table, threw down some cash, and grabbed her coat.
Starting point is 00:04:53 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. Vanita quickly pulled off her clothes, as best she could, so he could see the wound. He looked at the incision, and he looked lie down on the bed. Vanita 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,
Starting point is 00:05:14 and I said, get me another glass of wine. Paolo gave a soft smile, and then walked to the mini-french. He pulled out a bottle of wine, then filled a glass to the brim, and handed it to her. So I promptly slugged and I lay 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 then he gets my travel scissors.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And he used peroxide or 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 clung them into my incision. The pain was unlike anything, she'd felt. Benita has a high pain threshold, but for a second,
Starting point is 00:06:06 she thought she was going to black out. One hand was gripping the bed, and the other was holding onto Palo's shoulder. Palo 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 surgeon's trusted Palo, patient's trusted palo, but this dashing globe trotting miracle
