Summary chapter 7

In chapter 7 the the main character, George is forced to go to the medical ward of the camp as the wound he had on his knee had become infected with pus coming out. After he is carried to the ward they operate on his knee making an incision to remove the pus and this was done without anesthetic. He spends one night there and is then transported to a nearby hospital where they care for him and the doctor he met, who was kind, helped heal his wound also making incisions to remove pus without anesthetic. After his cut heals he is sent back to the camp where by he come across some dead bodies and begins to ask questions about the killings. During the whole chapter he tells us that at this point he felt no pain nor feelings  because of the things he had been through. This is why at the end of the chapter we see his indifference to the bodies that are around the camp. Not only is he indifferent but he ask questions like how they were killed.
