From the conversation in the sauna:
"Look, you see scars on the elbow - it was my operation done by my friend, the best surgeon in Russia on the elbows and knees. The Professor. They are all athletes...
It does not hurt, the hand works. In general, he said, we don’t like friends and relatives to do, but it’s okay.
He says he doesn’t need surgery on his knee. I did not think...
I tell him - Well, you have such a department, so many students-masters! You will choose the best...
He’s gone mad for me, you? I will go to Germany...
Uff
