Author / Director: The luxury of Dr. Lampe, 4:30 min., for ZDF sonntags, December 2004. Production: Surridge Films
Dr. Lampe, aesthetic plastic surgeon in Frankfurt/Main, luxury has little to do with material wealth.
From dusk till dawn he operates on patients with burns or disfigurements due to cancer. 1/3 of his patients find their way to his cabinet for purely cosmetic reasons.
During his annual holiday, Dr. Lampe has travelled 15 times with “Interplast Germany”, a voluntary association of surgeons, to India and Pakistan. On his own expenses, of course. Here he can help people in underdeveloped countries to lead livable existence by operating victims of mines or other disfigurements.
