In this Thursday, July 21, 2016 photo, Florinda Galasso of Campobasso, southern Italy, shows the scar from a tracheotomy after she suffered a stroke during open-heart surgery at the Vatican's Bambino Gesu Pediatric Hospital in 2009. Her surgeon had emphasized a 95 percent success rate although Galasso would have been at higher risk for a stroke given her medical history and the rare procedure planned. She was left nearly paralyzed on her left side, can no longer drive, walks with difficulty and is nearly blind in her left eye. Galasso sued the hospital for lack of informed consent and won.
