- The incumbent, despite receiving a criminal record, remains a work in our hospital. Fortunately, the court is not deprived of their right to work in the health care system. It is a wonderful accident, professional and decent person. What happened - an accident, this can happen with every doctor and patient. I believe, can not be called a doctor who does not try to help in a difficult situation. Our accident and was assisted in this conviction. If it goes further, the doctors, fearing the consequences, simply cease to provide medical assistance. But by law, remain innocent.
