Hope to see you again soon … Dear thoughts, F”. It happened four days after that she in Today’s Medicine had published the last of several critical issues about the Danish helsegründeren and the companies he has built up in Norway. the
Meant as a threat

Bordviks the editor in Today’s Medicine perceived that the card that came with the gift, was intended to create uncertainty and fear.
Dismissed
