Physician
Having been born into a physician’s family and both deeply impressed and fascinated by my father, Ernesto Mordasini as well as by his activities and tasks, it was clear to me that I’d choose to be a physician myself. After having acquired/obtained the qualification and medical title of a specialised physician in general internal medicine, I specialised in the field of cardiology and lipidology. Right from the beginning of my career as a hospital physician and physician with an own private practice, the well-being of my patients always was and continues to be my major concern.
