During the cesarean section for Thao, her husband, Le Hong Nam, climbed onto the railing of the cesarean section door to film and take pictures of Thao's cesarean section.
Because the actions of the patient's family were not in accordance with hospital regulations, the surgical team warned the patient's family. When warned, Nam not only did not comply but also spoke loudly, threatening to assault the doctors and medical staff participating in the surgical team. Afterwards, the subject and several other young men stood outside the operating room to wait...
After completing the cesarean section for the mother Thao, Dr. Pham Hai Ninh was punched and kicked by several people as he left the operating room. One of them, Nam, used a flashlight that he had prepared beforehand to hit Dr. Ninh several times on the head and body, causing the doctor to suffer a laceration to his left eyelid and head. After receiving treatment, the two doctors are now out of danger, have had their wounds stitched up, are receiving intensive treatment after a concussion, and are being monitored and treated at Yen Bai Provincial General Hospital.
After receiving the information, Yen Bai City Police took action and collected statements from the victim and witnesses. Based on the collected documents, the perpetrator of the intentional injury was identified as Le Hong Nam and the force was mobilized to search for him.
