Valerian Tschopp is a self-employed media maker. After a knee injury, he has a choice: health or the preservation of his company. For the time being, the young man from Salzburg is not entitled to sick pay. . 

Diagnosis: patella luxation! "My kneecap popped out while I was walking," says Valerian Tschopp. The 28-year-old is self-employed - and his injury is therefore particularly fatal from a financial point of view. Tschopp does not receive any sick pay.
