I decided to try to find out what this progressive paragon of medical practice was doing today. Was she in Italy trying to save her patients? Had she already died heroically doing just that, and I was being unfair to her?
Nope. Skedaddled out of Italy the first week of March to go to conferences in the US. And now, oh golly, she is stuck in the US and can’t get back to Italy, where the health care is so much better than here:

And I think she is 70.
