Anthony Zammit has never held a chair in surgery at the University of Malta and so cannot be called ‘professor’ under the Maltese system.

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”.

That’s correct David, one can go by feel, right?

A bit like Anglu Psaila was understood to operate I suppose.

Really? A battle of wits with a couple of low-life criminals?

Nothing much really happens except for possibly giving yourself a headache and maybe experience some light-headedness due to a low blood pressure.

Besides to operate one does not need perfect long sighted vision.

Dizziness, weakness and at worst loss of consciousness. Bil-Malti “taqaghlu il-pressjoni”.

His ‘phenomenal’ skills on the operating table might not be impeded as he seems to be myopic. Just like his political party.
