He and his wife repair their damaged relationship, but then she is run over by a bus and killed. Since Manson has accused the incompetent surgeon of murder, he is vindictively reported to the for having worked with an American specialist, Richard Stillman, who does not have a medical degree, even though the patient had been successfully treated at his clinic.
