The pitiful situation of the man who was electrocuted by high voltage and fell from the 3rd floor to the ground

On the morning of April 1, while painting on the third floor of a hotel, Mr. Nam's broom accidentally hit a high-voltage power line, was electrocuted, caught fire, and fell to the ground. After receiving first aid at the provincial general hospital, Mr. Nam was transferred to the National Burn Institute for treatment with a burn rate of over 80%; 6 broken ribs, femur, left arm and left shoulder, contusions in the neck and spine, contusions in the liver and lungs leading to a lot of pulmonary effusion. Mr. Nam did not have health insurance, so the family had to take care of all expenses themselves.

Mr. Bui Dinh Nam suffered over 80% electrical burns, broken legs, arms, and bruised liver and lungs.

Nam is the second child in a large family. His father was a war invalid and his mother was also a youth volunteer. For the past two years, his father has been bedridden and has been treated for a long time. Nam had an accident when he got sick again. His siblings all have their own families and work in agriculture. Their circumstances are also difficult. Nam's wife, Nguyen Thi Huong, works at Matrix Vinh Company with a salary of more than 3 million VND/month. Without a stable job, to raise 3 children, the oldest born in 2001 and the youngest born in 2015, Nam has to work here and there, with an unstable income.

Her parents let her live in a makeshift, dilapidated house in the garden. Recently, the couple borrowed nearly 100 million VND from the bank to rebuild the house. Two days before her husband had an accident, Ms. Huong had borrowed 40 million VND from the commune's credit fund to pay. After her husband had an accident, Ms. Huong had to continue borrowing 200 million VND at a high interest rate to pay for her husband's treatment.

Informed by the doctor to prepare for the worst, Ms. Huong is worried about her husband's life.

Mr. Nam had an accident and had to pay over 20 million VND in hospital fees every day to treat the burns. His left arm was atrophied from the electric shock and has turned black in some places. It is expected that it will have to be amputated. However, he is currently waiting for his condition to improve because of the excessive effusion in his lungs. The loan amount of 200 million VND that he brought with him has been exhausted, but the red book is currently mortgaged at the bank, so she has no way to borrow more money.

Over the phone, Ms. Huong choked up and cried: This morning the doctor met with the family and determined that we had to prepare mentally, because Nam's health prognosis was very bad. I determined that "there is life, there is hope", no matter how much debt I had to borrow to save my husband, but I have borrowed from wherever I could. The cost of treating the burn wound will not be paid tomorrow, the doctor said so, so I am very desperate, if I cannot save my husband, how will the four of us survive?

Mr. Tran Manh Hong - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Nam Giang Commune said: Faced with the difficult situation of Mr. Nam's family, the commune leaders have assigned organizations to mobilize donations to support him with money to pay the hospital fees. However, compared to the amount of money to treat Mr. Nam, it is certainly not enough. We hope that through Nghe An Newspaper, readers and philanthropists from near and far will extend their support to help save Mr. Nam's life.
