Imagine it's Thursday morning. You are going about your work outside when it starts to rain. A storm is approaching. You want to finish quickly. You get into a rush. An accident happens. Your leg is injured. Your only option is to be admitted to a foreign hospital. And what awaits you there will shape the next year and a half of your life. This is what happened to Reinhard Lack, who was working in Romania and had to be treated quickly in a hospital in Bucharest because of his injury. He was deeply shocked by the conditions there. After his operation, he arranged for transportation to Germany. But his rocky road to full recovery had only just begun.
