If you suffer from Eagle Syndrome and have suicidal thoughts, please don’t do this!
Near Zurich, Switzerland, there is the largest brothel and erotic center in the country. Adjacent to it, in one of the former industrial buildings of an old cable factory (the blue construction), a controversial service has been established to help people suffering from incurable diseases end their lives. While euthanasia is theoretically prohibited in Switzerland, assisted suicide (assisted dying) is permitted, and this operation functions on that basis.
Here is what this activity looks like. Translation from „Corriere de la Serra” and „Panorama”:

„Ms. Alessandra Giordano was a teacher from Catania, Italy 🇮🇹. She suffered from headaches, ear pain, eye problems, and had Eagle Syndrome🦅. At the age of 45, she stopped working. She did not conceal her suicidal thoughts or her desire to use a clinic in Switzerland that specialized in assisted dying. This resulted in long-term psychotherapy.
On March 25, 2019, when Ms. Alessandra was 46 years old, a friend of her brother called, saying he had just seen her at the airport, departing for Zurich. The woman's siblings contacted the “Dignitas” clinic, pleading with them to halt the death procedure because Alessandra was suffering from depression and was not fully responsible for her decisions. The response was very evasive. The next day, on the advice of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the siblings flew to Zurich to seek help from the Swiss police. The “Dignitas” clinic informed the police that they did not have such a patient. The following day, the clinic notified the Swiss police that Alessandra Giordano had died by her own choice after undergoing the procedure.
It later emerged that the consent for "euthanasia" was granted by a consulting physician at the clinic, who diagnosed Alessandra with an incurable condition due to Eagle Syndrome. Italian doctors had a different opinion. Furthermore, the clinic disregarded the information that the woman was suffering from severe depression. The procedure cost 10,000 euros. It also came to light that before her death, Alessandra Giordano had become a member of the association governing the clinic, bequeathing her savings and home in Catania to them. Everything was conducted in accordance with the prevailing regulations in Switzerland”.
"Dignitas" (Latin for "Dignity") - what the hell dignity?
It is no secret that the two neighboring businesses—prostitution and the "assisted dying clinic"—do not have a cordial relationship. The sight of coffins being transported deters clients from seeking the services of prostitutes. Conversely, the presence of prostitutes raises concerns for potential clients of the "dying house." Local residents are thoroughly fed up with both businesses.

Unfortunately, there have been more cases like Ms. Alessandra from Catania, including individuals suffering from Eagle's Syndrome. One patient, after undergoing extensive styloidectomy, lost her savings at another similar “assisted dying clinic” without receiving any services in return. She was left without funds, in immense suffering, and due to her health condition, unable to find work. We do not condemn anyone who, under the influence of chronic pain, decides to take that ultimate step. However, it is worth living and fighting for one’s health, and above all, being careful. Thanks to this website, we have managed to save the lives of several individuals who were considering a one-way trip to Switzerland. Switzerland🇨🇭 is undoubtedly a beautiful country worth visiting, but it’s always wise to have a return ticket when traveling.
The author of this text and the website, who has personally experienced Eagle's Syndrome, endured extreme pain and suffering, as well as the failure of the entire body, both before and after surgery. Nevertheless, I never considered premature death, even for a moment. The only thing that could have led me to depression was witnessing the indifference of the doctors handling my case. At the same time, a friend of mine passed away from Eagle's Syndrome, suffering greatly while being ignored by medical professionals. I knew that, contrary to all odds, I had to survive and provide a fitting testimony.
Stay strong and brave! Life Is Beautiful. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil".
