Isn’t accurate vision a prerequisite for a surgeon? How is he operating if he can’t even make out the Portomaso Tower clearly?

The Malta Independent reported from court on the trial that’s in the news:
Anthony Zammit said that he suffered permanent damage to his vision after the attack.
“Portomaso now looks like it was hit by one of the planes of the Twin Towers,” Zammit said in describing the problems with his vision.

Was he stupid to start with or was it also caused by the attack?
Because that comparison to the Twin Towers is the pits of Xarabankian thought.
What does that even mean? The man would do himself a massive favour by just answering the questions as briefly and succinctly as possible, and leaving out all of this near-comical drama.
His beating his ‘attackers’ in a battle of wits is another example of his nonsensical testimony this week.
The guy is on another planet, with Najzu Tax-Xema maybe. The shiny, baldy whale of Zurrieq.
Really? A battle of wits with a couple of low-life criminals?
And what was that about him referring to his regular surgery clinics at Natius Health and Beauty? Is he too embarrassed to say Natius Ola?
nowadays there are contraptions called glasses.
[Daphne – Which don’t correct damage to the eye caused by trauma.]
On a different note: Muscat’s promise ‘Stil Gdid ta’ Kif Taghmel il-Politika’

“He called on the men to place a pill under my tongue, the purpose being to make at least one of them take off his gloves and leave finger prints.
He told the accused that he also needed a patch.”

It is not clear if they put the patch on him. However, is there any doctor out there who can tell us what happens to a person who puts a pill under his tongue and possibly also a patch when he doesn’t really have a heart attack?
Dizziness, weakness and at worst loss of consciousness. Bil-Malti “taqaghlu il-pressjoni”.
Nothing much really happens except for possibly giving yourself a headache and maybe experience some light-headedness due to a low blood pressure.
Apparently his long-sighted vision is in smoke. His ‘phenomenal’ skills on the operating table might not be impeded as he seems to be myopic. Just like his political party.
As far as I know, Professor Zammit does not perform operations any more as he is retired. Besides to operate one does not need perfect long sighted vision.
That’s correct David, one can go by feel, right?
A bit like Anglu Psaila was understood to operate I suppose.
Anthony Zammit has never held a chair in surgery at the University of Malta and so cannot be called ‘professor’ under the Maltese system.
In 2012 Mr Anthony Zammit was still alive and kicking buckets.

I think that when he is giving evidence, he gets agitated and lets his tongue run away with him.
Can we once and for all stop referring to Anthony Zammit as “Prof”? He was never a professor at the University of Malta.
And as far as I know, he isn’t a “Mister” either (the title held by surgeons trained in the UK). He specialised in Germany. He’s a plain and simple “Dr Zammit”.
