1953 illness of Pius XII

I removed the following paragraph since it seems off-topic; there is no mention of Galeazzi-Lisi:

Late in 1953, Pope Pius XII became sick. A strong hiccup developed and his Swiss doctor asked him to rest. He refused with the consequence that soon after he had to rest for five weeks. In a race with death, his gastritis prohibited food-intake and the hiccup accelerated. He was ready to resign the Papacy.^[1] "Our time needs a fully capable active Pope", he told his assistant Robert Leiber. But the doctors assured him that with time he would recuperate. Blood transfusions kept the Pope alive and, after months, he could resume his full duties. Like all Popes before and after him, a group of physicians watched constantly over him including Professors Gasbarini and Paul Niehans ^[2] During his long illness in 1954, American doctors were consulted by intervention of Francis Cardinal Spellman.^[3] Niehans and the American doctors concluded that the origin of the illness was incurable in hypothalamus of the brain.^[4]

If his role during this period is established it can be reintroduced. Accurizer (talk) 12:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1956/1958 dismissal

I'm pretty confused as to when RG-L was dimissed as Pius XII's physician. In the opening paragraph, it says he was dismissed in 1956, and somehow managed to be present for Pius's death in 1958. Later on, it talks about a Vatican council dismissing him in 1958 (after the Pope's death and botched embalming). If he was dismissed as the personal doctor in 1956, what position was he dismissed from in 1958? The article on Pius XII (with more discussion of the botched embalming) also makes it sound like he retained his position until after the Pope's death in 1958. Was he actually dismissed from a position in 1956?192.104.39.2 (talk) 17:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
