According to Nobel laureate doctor James Cobb, Mikheil Saakashvili needs several surgeries. As he stated during his remote testimony in the Tbilisi City Court, if the surgeries are not carried out immediately, Saakashvili will not be able to move anymore:
"He has a serious problem and I think the neck problem and the left shoulder joint problem are the most serious and painful.
He needs surgery on his neck, as well as surgery on his left shoulder joint, as well as probable surgery on his left hip joint.
If these surgeries are not performed in time, as he has severe mobility problems, it will become even more difficult and he will be practically unable to move," says James Cobb.
To the question of Mikheil Saakashvili's lawyer, whether illnesses prevent the sentencing of the third president, James Cobb says that - yes:
"Yes. That's because he has severe pain every day in the neck area where he puts pressure on the spinal nerve and is getting weaker and weaker as a result." says James Cobb.
According to the Nobel laureate doctor, Mikheil Saakashvili is not given painkillers, he is given valium injections, which is a sedative and has nothing to do with painkillers.
