Interviewer: Dr. Perlmutter, I know that you treated a local health care worker by the name of Tamir.
Dr. Perlmutter: Yes.
Interviewer: Can you tell us a little bit about him?
Dr. Perlmutter: Sure. And this story will argue against the accusations that, or the claims of the IDF that nobody was targeted, no innocent person was targeted. Tamir is an orthopedic nurse. He was in the operating room closing a wound after a surgery when an Israeli soldier came into another hospital, not the one we were working in. This is a hospital that was already occupied by the IDF. They ordered him to abandon the patient who he was closing the wound on. He refused to do so. So, he was shot in the knee. His proximal tibia bone, or his shin bone, was sent across the room. He was obviously unconscious from that assault. He was then operated on. He recovered the next day, conscious(ness). The next day, he was taken prisoner by the Israelis and taken into Israel to an Israeli prison. He was handcuffed. He was blindfolded for 45 days. He received absolutely no wound care. He was fed a juice box by his report to me, sometimes every day, mostly every other day. And then on the 45th day, after they discovered that he wasn’t Hamas, they let him go by dumping him on the side of the road on the other side of the border. He crawled for three kilometers. His wound is now horribly infected. As a goodbye present, they gave him a rifle butt in his right eye, they blew out his globe, meaning that he’s blind forever. And he crawled and was picked up by a passerby and was brought to the hospital where we took care of him. So, he was tortured. He was starved, tortured, totally abused, received no medical care and initially shot when he didn’t have to be shot for doing his job delivering health care.

Interviewer: And again, we should know that CNN has reached out to the IDF for comment on this. Obviously, we can’t independently verify these allegations and the disturbing description that you just provided us.
