What did Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine say when the department leader asked the hearing specialist to examine hearing?

An office staff member of Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine received a notice to perform a hearing test due to frequently asking the department head to repeat his opinion many times.

The notice requesting a hearing test from the public health department office of Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine is spreading on social networks.

On social networks, a "Notice of request for hearing test" was sent to Master of Science TTHS - office specialist of the Faculty of Public Health, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine (HCMC).

This notice was signed by MSc. Phung Quang Vinh - Head of the Public Health Department Office - on October 16, with the following content: "Based on the regular meeting of the department office on October 13, 2025. In order to ensure the health of the staff and the quality of work at the department office, the department office requests MSc. TTHS - specialist of the public health department office - to perform a hearing examination at a competent medical unit.

Reason: During the regular meeting of the faculty office on October 13, 2025, MSc. S. frequently asked the faculty office leaders to repeat their opinions many times.

The deadline for submitting hearing test results to the department office is before 4:30 p.m., October 20, 2025.

Above is the notice about performing hearing test, requesting Master S. to seriously perform it".

Discussing this on social networks, many people were surprised by the content of this announcement: "If you go to a meeting and don't understand, and ask again, you might be considered... hard of hearing and have to go see a doctor. Is this a joke?".

On the afternoon of October 17, speaking with Tuoi Tre , a representative of Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine confirmed that the school's public health department office had notified about conducting a hearing test on an office specialist of this department.

"They suspected that she had a hearing problem because she often went to meetings and asked the department's office leaders to repeat their opinions many times. Therefore, the department asked her to have her hearing checked. This is very normal.

Actually, this is an internal matter of the department and the department does not report to the school leadership. This is like a doctor's recommendation to an employee," said a school representative.
