“A 20-year-old man was rushed in this morning and the issue is that he was alleged to have stabbed himself in the abdomen in an attempt to commit suicide. When I came to examine him there were other things I established. He is alleged to have been involved in tramadol abuse. We established that there was a penetrating injury in the abdomen around the right flank, and the intestines were out.”
