Mohd Saiful said at this hospital, he met Dr Mohd Osman Abdul Hamid and told the doctor that he had a stomach ache and felt pain in the anus.

He also mentioned that the doctor asked him to remove the pants and put something in his anus abd during this time he informed the doctor that he had been been sodomised and wanted to do a medical examination

He said Dr Mohd Osman immediately stopped the examination and told him to wear back his pants.
The doctor asked him to do futher treatment in HKL (Hospital Kuala Lumpur) because that hospital did not have the facilities to do a forensic examination and that the medical report from the hospital could not be used in a court later.

"He then told me get the examination done at HKL (Hospital Kuala Lumpur). I followed his advice and went straight to HKL. Initially I did not know where to go but looking at it logically, I went to the outpatient ward to register at 3pm.

Earlier in today's proceedings, he had given testimony in camera for about 30 minutes before the judge, the prosecution and defence teams, himself and Anwar left the courthouse at 11.43am to visit the condominium where the alleged sodomy took place.

When hearing resumed in open court, Mohd Saiful continued with his testimony on the hospital visits.
