Details surrounding Yang Jae Woong's patient death incident
The South Korean media outlet, SBS, reported that a woman in her 30s died in May at a mental hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Do. The family revealed that she had been hospitalized for treatment but passed away under troubling circumstances. She had been admitted 17 days prior for addiction treatment related to diet drugs containing narcotics.
The CCTV footage from the hospital shows that the patient, who was in a single room, repeatedly knocked on the door and asked for help due to abdominal pain. Despite her pleas, a nurse and a doctor administered medication and restrained her to the bed. An hour later, they released her after noting no immediate reaction.
When the patient lost consciousness, the medical staff attempted CPR and body massage, but she ultimately passed away. The cause of death is believed to be intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
The bereaved family has expressed outrage over the hospital’s handling of the situation and has sued the institution. They accuse the hospital of administering excessive amounts of sleeping pills with a lethal dose of stabilizers found in her blood according to the National Forensic Service’s autopsy. Additionally, they have filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission. The police have already booked the hospital director and staff for investigation.
