  • Surgery scars on Kim. On May 14, 2010 during the political disturbance between Red Shirts and army personnel in Bangkok, Thailand, Kim was shot three times while walking to a 7-Eleven to pay his family's bills. He was rushed to Kluay Nam Thai Hospital for life-saving surgery. The most dangerous bullet entered close to his spinal cord and penetrated his lung; it was removed during surgery, but the damage it caused resulted in breathing problems, paralysis, and other severe health issues. The second bullet had not penetrated very deeply and was easier to remove. However, due to the large amount of blood Kim had lost, the doctor considered further surgery too risky: the third bullet had to remain in his body.

  • Kim in his bed at Mahesak Hospital, Bangkok. On October 20, 2011, more than 17 months after the shooting, Kim needed surgery again. At this point he frequently had cramps in his body, along with severe pain in the shoulder and neck area. As the muscles in his back had atrophied drastically, he could not move his body like before. The doctor discovered that the cause of the pain was one of his neck vertebrae putting pressure on nearby nerves. After surgery Kim returned home, but it was not long before he developed respiratory problems and was taken to the hospital yet again. On November 9, 2011 he was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit because of his breathing difficulties. At this point Kim could neither move nor talk; he had nothing to communicate with but his eyes and a mouth with no words.

  • Athens, Greece - Simon Sobahan, 25, from Bangladesh. He was victim of a racist attack during which he got his arm broken. The doctors tell him he needs surgery to recover, but he doesn't have health insurance. In Greece, the deep recession due to the Austerity Measures imposed by the Troika (European Union, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund) coincided with the worsening in life conditions of both the native population and the immigrant one. The latter had to face not only an enormous increase of poverty and unemployment -often leading to homelessness- but also the rise in popularity of Golden Dawn, an ultranationalist party which got 18 seats in Parliament after June 2012 election. G.D. propaganda and actions are all based on racism and hate towards the foreign communities, blamed to be one of the main causes of the crisis.<br />
