On April 1, a source said that the Gia Lai Provincial Police Investigation Agency is coordinating with relevant parties to clarify the case of a patient's family insulting and assaulting a doctor at the Chu Se District Medical Center.

According to initial reports, at around 6:00 p.m. on March 31, the emergency resuscitation unit of Chu Se District Medical Center received three patients: Hoang Van Kien (58 years old), Nguyen Van Tuan (49 years old) and Ho Van Phi (41 years old, all residing in Chu Se District).

At this time, Dr. Nguyen Thi Diem Hang assessed and classified the patient. Realizing that patient Hoang Van Kien had signs of respiratory failure and needed emergency care, Dr. Hang examined and provided emergency treatment for the patient.

Next, Dr. Hang examined patient Tuan. When he was admitted to the hospital, he smelled of alcohol and was in pain. During the examination, Dr. Hang patted the patient's leg to remind him to coordinate the examination position.

Seeing this, the family of patient Ho Van Phi lying in the next bed asked the patient why he was in pain and why the doctor was hitting him so hard. Doctor Hang replied that she used very little force and continued examining Tuan.

After that, patient Phi's family members challenged and threatened the doctor, calling him "you" and "I" and asked "do you know who I am and who my brother is?".

When the doctor replied that he would not talk to this person and asked him to go somewhere else, this person rushed in and punched Dr. Hang in the face and head. Seeing this, the nurse ran to call the center's security to take this person out. Later, this person and patient Ho Van Phi left on their own.

After the incident, realizing that the subject had hooligan behavior and harmed the health of medical staff, Chu Se District Medical Center reported to Chu Se Town Police to request verification and handling.
