Söder Reflects on Hip Surgery Recovery, Likens Therapy to Political Reform

In a new interview, the Bavarian leader says medical dramas made him a questioning patient who ultimately follows specialists' advice.

Overview

  • He underwent hip surgery at Christmas and used the forced rest to think, saying by the third day he had countless ideas for things to do.
  • He compared medical therapy to political reforms, noting that both can be painful and prompt doubt but reward perseverance.
  • He acknowledged being a demanding patient because shows like Dr. House gave him half-knowledge that led to frequent questions.
  • He stressed that despite his curiosity he heeds the guidance of medical professionals.
  • On Instagram he said the operation went well, he is in rehab and training, progress is good, and he is already working from the office without specifying the procedure details.
