Hospitals: The White Mafia

Professor Daniele Vallotti is a prominent surgeon and owner of a high-end clinic who selects patients based on their wealth. While he maintains a public image as a generous benefactor by volunteering at a hospital for the poor, he privately exploits his patients and covers up medical errors.
