EN And when a doctor did find traces of the metal, and when Bangladeshi villagers did start turning up at doctors' surgeries with the tumours and telltale signs of arsenic poisoning, the results were swiftly buried so that nobody made the connection.
GL Aínda máis grave: cando un médico descubriu rastros de arsénico na auga e cada vez máis persoas afectadas de cancro ou con síntomas de envelenamento acudiron á consulta dos facultativos, tratouse por tódolos medios de oculta-la relación entre esas doenzas e a auga quitada dos pozos.
