Now Mr. Culliton is coming to the crux of it. If somebody's back is broken, or somebody got stabbed in the neck or some other injury, how can the chief medical officer say a couple of years on that an injury is specifically linked to an assault by the three prisoners who beat somebody up on such and such a day? Is the chief medical officer willing to sign off on a person retiring due to an assault on the job?
