“– There are things you use to keep the skin, meat or pick out the pieces. And it is not dirt as the fabric, or such as belong to the cleaning procedure, but it must come from another human being, ” says a source to Aftonbladet.”
“Cancel the operation on the anesthetized child”
“the Problem has been for several months, according to the whistleblower. The instruments supplied from the sterilcentralen is often dirty, despite the fact that they are packaged the way they tend to be when they are cleansed and prepared for the next operation.”

“What can happen if instruments are not clean?”
“– You can get a sepsis, a blood poisoning, and die. The business must be evacuated and my way to protect kids is to turn me to you.”
