Presiding Officer: I saw in the notes that you do not like the medical treatment here.

Detainee (through translator): A lot of mistakes were made.

Presiding Officer: Like what?

Detainee (through translator): The doctors are usually very late. I usually wait a long time before I see the doctor.

Presiding Officer: So do I. In the Camp, there is one medical person for every five detainees. In the town where I lived, there is one doctor for every 28 people.

Detainee (through translator) There are five hundred detainees here. If America is so powerful and has all types of technologies, it should be able to medically cover five hundred people.

Presiding Officer: Is there any treatment that you need right now that is not being attended?

Detainee (through translator): I have given up. It is almost impossible to receive treatment.

Presiding Officer: Do your wounds bother you?

Detainee (through translator): What wounds?

Presiding Officer: You were shot by that Uzbek soldier.

Detainee (through translator): I do not have any wounds, but I have problems with my teeth.

Presiding Officer: I advise to tell the medical people that you need to see a dentist.

Detainee (through translator): I told them several times. They said that my name is on the list.

Presiding Officer: If your name is on the list, they will eventually get to you.

Detainee (through translator): I hope so.
