Mr. Phan Van Tam, who was bitten by a snake that was being treated at Cho Ray Hospital, donated VND 80 million to a poor woman on dialysis in the same department.
This amount is part of the almost 800 million dong donated by donors to help Mr. Tam treat his cobra bite. His wife said she spent more than 500 million dong to pay for her husband’s hospital fees. Upon learning of the same medical treatment with Mr. Tam, a very poor woman who does not have money for dialysis or dialysis may die, the couple talked to share the amount of help with people in the same situation.
“My family is poor, so I sympathize with her. My wife and I went to the hospital to give her uncle 80 million VND to take over the hospital fees and cover her days in the hospital,” said his wife Tam.
Mr. Tam, 36, who lives in Tay Ninh, was bitten by a cobra on August 19, is now in critical condition, his heart, kidney and lung function recovered well, breathing on his own, wide awake . Currently, you only need a skin graft for the necrotic wound area on the abdomen and right thigh.
The wife said she was happy when her husband overcame the tragedy and was able to return home to her and their children. She remembers that “she only asked for help with enough money for her husband to treat her,” so while she is very grateful, she refuses to receive further donor support but offers opportunities for other poor patients. With the remaining VND100 million, she plans to pay for the cost of the skin transplant and promote her health when she returns home from the hospital.
With a difficult family, Mr. Tam worked as a snake hunter to sell and have money for his children to go to school. That day he caught a 3 m long king cobra, which weighed around 5 kg, was bitten by it on his thigh and wrapped tightly around his arm. He went to the emergency room with a snake wrapped around his arm and was transferred to Cho Ray Hospital by Tay Ninh General Hospital. The patient was close to death, complete paralysis, renal failure, he had to dialysis continuously, dependent on mechanical ventilation, double plasma exchange, infusion of 15 vials of antitoxin, necrotic screening four times …
When she takes her husband to the emergency room at Cho Ray Hospital, the wife only has “a few dollars” in her pocket. Fortunately, the sponsors donated money to help him heal.
