On November 5, Dong Xoai City Police ( Binh Phuoc ) coordinated with Tien Thanh Ward Police to investigate and clarify the case of a nurse at Binh Phuoc General Hospital being assaulted at work, causing injury.

While instructing the patient to fill out the application, nurse Nghia asked the patient's family to write the correct age according to the patient's year of birth, but because the patient's family wrote it twice and it was still incorrect, Mr. Nghia asked them to rewrite it.
At this time, suddenly some of the patient's family members acted rashly, using chairs to chase and beat nurse Nghia, causing injuries to his arms, hands and head. "The patient and his family members had only been there for about 10 minutes when the incident happened. A patient's family member slapped me 2-3 times, then continued to push the table, causing me to fall. Another person used a chair to hit me. Even though I ran away, these people still assaulted me with their hands, feet, chairs...", Mr. Nghia was indignant.

Doctor Vu Xuan Thuy, Deputy Director in charge of Binh Phuoc General Hospital confirmed the incident happened early this morning, November 5. Immediately after the incident, the hospital also extracted the camera, reassured the doctors and nurses to work with peace of mind, and coordinated with the police to verify and clarify.

"In daily work, the hospital has tried its best to ensure security, order and safety for medical staff working. However, because it was late at night and there were few people, these people were reckless and we did not foresee the above incident. After that, the hospital also closely coordinated with local police to investigate and handle the case. The hospital also hopes for better coordination with agencies and departments to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients being treated at the hospital," shared Dr. Vu Xuan Thuy.
Currently, nurse Nghia's health is stable, but his head is in pain and he is dizzy and needs an X-ray to check for injuries.
Dong Xoai City Police also examined the scene, extracted camera footage, and invited relevant people to clarify the case of a nurse at Binh Phuoc General Hospital being assaulted by a patient's family.
