Today he was to testify in court against the doctor who mistakenly operated on him.
– I created a folder and devised a strategy. I have been involved in this work since the trial date was announced.
But yesterday he received an SMS from the district court saying that the case has been adjourned indefinitely.
– I was afraid it would be like that. It’s a whole buzz. I’m afraid everything will go away.
