Tunisian and Algerian media quoted the patient, called “Tarek F”, as saying that the case dates back to 1997, when he got into skirmishes with a person in the state of Setif, to stab him, and he was subsequently transferred to the hospital for treatment, and the medical staff did not notice the presence of the dagger..
And the patient added that over the past years, and as a result of the pain, as he says, he continued to receive injections and sedatives, without knowing the cause of the pain, and he discovered months ago the presence of the dagger at the level of the back following he made an x-ray..
“The doctors at Setif Hospital were afraid to perform an operation on him, given that the dagger was located near the spine,” the concerned reported.
