    Yes, mine is a particular DL because I choose only people that:

    1) I know (i don't like actor, VIP that i never heard before or the semi unknown hockey player from Canada)

    2) Are famous (so not people known only for being ill, sadly a lot of deadpool are full of this shit)

     

    I should search for some younger VIPs ill, but it isn't simple following my two rules.

    Google Translate isn't being particularly friendly.  Does this article say, or do you know why he's having surgery?

    Edit: OK looks like a blocked aorta maybe?  lol Only thing worse than my Italian is my English.

    Partial resection of the aorta.
