He didn’t ask for wheelchair assistance. Our medical institution has sufficient wheelchairs. However, I can habits an inquiry and begin motion towards the team of workers if they are discovered guilty.”
“Later in the day, his family members arrived and said he's mentally unsound and has the dependancy of behaving surprisingly,” he added.
