According to the doctors' consultation, this is a case of a patient with a severe spinal injury, a mechanically unstable fracture, requiring emergency surgery to stiffen and fix the spine by screwing. The surgery was successful after 3 hours. The patient's health is currently stable, and he is continuing to be treated and monitored at the hospital.

Doctor CK2 Huynh Nhu Dong, Head of the Neurosurgery Department of the Central Highlands General Hospital, said that patient H. did not have a health insurance card, his family's circumstances were difficult, and the treatment and surgery process was very expensive. The department is currently proposing that the social work team of the hospital's Nursing Department support and help this case.

Previously, on the afternoon of November 23, Ms. H. went to pick coffee for a household in Ea H'leo commune and accidentally fell into an abandoned well in the field. The well had water, about 15 meters deep, and was difficult to detect because trees and weeds covered the mouth of the well. Upon receiving the news, the commune authorities and H.Ea H'leo came to rescue the victim from the well in a state of multiple injuries.
