He was in serious pain and wanted the doctor to help him urgently. He got angry and started calling the doctor names. The doctor came back and punched him multiple times in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The online media further reported that the patient was later moved to Dakar, where his two fingers were amputated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
