False information posted on social media |
Previously, on Facebook, information appeared that Mr. YNM (34 years old, Hoa Dong commune, Krong Pak district, Dak Lak province) had his kidney stolen at the Central Highlands General Hospital.
According to Dr. Trinh Hong Nhut, the patient mentioned is Mr. YNM (in Ea Kenh commune, Krong Pak district, Dak Lak province), not residing in Hoa Dong commune, Krong Pak district as reported on social networks. Mr. YNM had a fever at home for 4 days, felt very tired, and was taken to the Krong Pak District Medical Center for treatment for 1 day. After that, the disease progressed seriously, so the patient was transferred to the Central Highlands General Hospital at 9:23 p.m. on August 9, with a diagnosis of dengue fever.
After 5 days of medical treatment at the Infectious Diseases Department, the patient's health did not improve, with continuous high fever, fatigue, and impaired consciousness. The patient was diagnosed with septic shock/monitored for encephalitis-meningitis/dengue hemorrhagic fever on day 10, with complications of multiple organ failure, so he was transferred to the Intensive Care and Anti-Poisoning Department for continued treatment.
After 34 hours of intensive medical resuscitation and continuous blood filtration, the patient's condition did not improve, but worsened, the patient was in a deep coma, respiratory failure did not improve, and blood pressure dropped. Therefore, the hospital explained to the patient's family that the patient's condition was serious and at risk of death. At the same time, the doctor repeatedly encouraged the family to let the patient stay for further treatment, but the family firmly wrote a commitment to return home.
At this time, the patient was diagnosed with septic shock with complications of multiple organ failure (kidney failure, blood clotting disorder, metabolic acidosis, etc.).
"The hospital also did not operate on the patient, except to insert a needle into the femoral vein to take blood for dialysis," Dr. Nhat affirmed.
The case is currently being investigated by the authorities.
