Military Hospital 7 (Military Region 3) has just treated a case of cardiovascular collapse, multiple organ failure, and hyperkalemia due to the use of oriental medicine of unknown origin.
Advertising oriental medicine for bone and joint treatment on social networks.
The patient is NTT, 76 years old, residing in An Thuong commune, Hai Duong city, Hai Duong province; diagnosed with stomach cancer at the end of 2024, has been treated many times at the hospital. However, recently, the patient searched online and saw an advertisement for a traditional medicine to cure cancer, so instead of taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, he bought the traditional medicine himself.
After 3 consecutive days of using traditional medicine, the patient showed symptoms of coma, severe respiratory failure, complete heart arrhythmia, and low blood pressure. Doctors at Military Hospital 7 had to perform 15 hours of continuous emergency blood filtration to help the patient's health gradually stabilize.
Recently, many people claiming to be famous doctors, physicians, pharmacists, working in large hospitals often livestream, advertise, and sell "family" oriental medicine with the ability to cure all diseases such as diabetes, bones and joints, even cancer... These medicines are widely advertised and sold in many forms such as articles, images, and elaborate videos with commitments: 3-generation family medicine, 100% cure, no side effects, 100% refund if not cured... When patients have a need, they do not need to go to the clinic, but just need to call and get advice, medicine will be delivered to their home. These advertisements are like "pouring honey into the ears" causing many people, especially the elderly, to be gullible and willing to spend millions of dong to buy products of unknown origin, among them many people are poisoned, have liver failure, kidney failure, and even have to be hospitalized for emergency treatment because of taking the medicine.
Oriental medicine is increasingly used by many people to improve health and prevent diseases. However, like Western medicine, if used incorrectly, it will lead to loss of money and even endanger life. In addition, on the market today there are many types of oriental medicine of unknown origin and poor quality. Therefore, when using any medicine, people need to consult a doctor or medical expert; when in need, they should go to reputable medical facilities and pharmacies to buy medicine, need to be very careful with advertising "family" oriental medicine on social networks, absolutely do not use medicine of unknown origin and unverified to protect the health of yourself and your family.
