On August 19, a leader of the Central Highlands General Hospital confirmed that the hospital had just sent a document to the Department of Health and Dak Lak Provincial Police reporting the case of a patient with severe dengue fever who asked to go home; after that, many related false information appeared on social networks.
Information about “kidney robbery” was posted on social networks (Photo: Screenshot).
Specifically, previously, on Facebook, information spread that a 35-year-old Ede man (living in Hoa Dong commune, Krong Pak district, Dak Lak) had his kidney stolen.
The article was posted on social media with the patient’s information, along with false information: “According to the family, the test results showed dengue fever and weakness and when he returned home, the hospital performed an abdominal operation. The incident occurred on August 16, right at the Central Highlands General Hospital in Buon Ma Thuot, Dak Lak province.”
Immediately afterwards, the Central Highlands General Hospital sent a detailed report, confirming that the information posted on social media was untrue.
According to the hospital, on August 9, patient YNM (33 years old, Ea Kenh commune, Krong Pak district, Dak Lak province) was admitted to the hospital after having a fever for 4 consecutive days. The patient was diagnosed with dengue fever.
After 5 days of medical treatment at the Department of Infectious Diseases, the patient did not improve. The patient had a continuous high fever, fatigue, and impaired consciousness with a diagnosis of septic shock; monitored for encephalitis - meningitis; dengue fever on day 10 with complications of multiple organ failure. The patient was transferred to the Department of Intensive Care and Anti-Poisoning for further treatment.
After 34 hours of intensive medical resuscitation combined with continuous blood filtration, the patient did not improve, became seriously ill, and fell into a deep coma. The patient's respiratory failure did not improve and his blood pressure dropped.
The hospital explained that the patient’s condition was serious and life-threatening and encouraged the family to continue treatment. However, the family insisted on writing a guarantee to return home. Therefore, the hospital allowed the family to take the patient home as desired.
However, after the patient was discharged, information spread on social media that the hospital had removed the patient's kidney. The hospital confirmed that this information was completely false. In addition, the Central Highlands General Hospital has also requested that the authorities intervene to handle the false information in accordance with the law.
