内容摘要：With the war continuing in Gaza, and rising levels of violence on the occupied West Bank, Israel would also have to contemplate a third front if it invaded Lebanon. Its soldiers are motivated, well trained and equipped, but the reserve units that provide much of Israel’s fighting power are already feeling the strain after a year of war.

In April 2017, they restarted the lengthening process in Elaine’s left leg, while also injecting bone marrow into the right leg - to stimulate bone growth there. After the operation, Elaine woke to more bad news.“Dr Guichet told me the nail had broken while he was taking it out,” she says. “He had a nail from another patient which he was able to insert.” She adds that this was going to cost even more money.

Three days later, hardly able to move, but desperate to be home, Elaine returned to London. She says communication with Dr Guichet had soured and feels that by summer the doctor-patient relationship had broken down.She didn’t know where else to turn and by July 2017 she managed to see a specialist orthopaedic surgeon on the NHS.She says the specialist told her "this will not be a short journey."

"I had to prepare myself for at least five years of treatment before healing fully," she says.Eight years on from the initial surgery Elaine says she is still recovering from her mental and physical scars. She has a range of mobility issues and says she suffers from PTSD.

“From 2017 to 2020 I hid from the world. I was single, unemployed, penniless and disabled.”
