José María Villalón describes Francis as ‘charming and stubborn’ patient, who did not want surgical intervention

The head doctor at the Spanish football team Atlético de Madrid has describedas a “very charming and very stubborn” patient, after the Vatican called him up to treat the pontiff’s enduring knee problem.

Since May, Francis, 85, has frequently been seen using a wheelchair or walking stick due to his knee ailment. The Vatican has not revealed exactly what the problem is, although Villalón said he had been called upon to “improve his mobility and stop his arthritic process” without resorting to surgery.

Villalón added: “Pope Francis is a very nice but very stubborn patient, in the sense that there are surgical proposals that he doesn’t want. More conservative treatments must be offered to him.”
