If an elderly person falls accidentally, the consequences can be big or small. Family members should also be careful. Recently, a female neighbor in Xihuan posted an article on the Internet, referring to her father who lived alone in his eighties. He fell on the stairs while going to a restaurant to buy food earlier. Lay out the big wok.” On the next day, the father of the victim fell another 6 or 7 times on the way to seek medical treatment, and someone helped call an ambulance. After the doctor’s examination, it was found that the old man’s knee had been completely cracked and surgery was needed. For this reason, the victim appealed to the neighbors and shops to help if the elderly fell down.
The latest video promotion:
On Monday (February 27), a female netizen posted on the Facebook group “When the Western District Changes”, saying that her father, in his 80s, went to buy food at a restaurant in Mayfield Mall in Kennedy Town one night and was walking up the stairs. I accidentally fell down, and there was no one to help, and no one called an ambulance, and the owner of the restaurant even said: “You have something to do! If there is something to do, I will make a big wok!” In the end, he just gave the old man a stool to sit on.
The victim also pointed out that his father went to Dieda the next day, but instead of calling an ambulance, the Dieda master asked his father to go to the hospital in Aberdeen for X-rays. On the way to seek medical treatment, my father fell 6 or 7 times before someone called an ambulance. Fall again, take a taxi to Aberdeen and fall again, because the knee has no strength to support, so it keeps falling.” After being admitted to the hospital for examination, the doctor found that the old man’s knee had been completely cracked and surgery was required. He also said that if he did not accept Surgery will “do not work”.
Fortunately, his father’s operation was successful in the end, but the doctor also explained, “If you call Bai Che on the first fall, it should not be cracked and open, and no surgery is needed.” Therefore, the subject posted related posts:
I implore all shops and neighbors, don’t be stingy with your love. When you see an old man fall, you will really help him call the white car, whether it is big or small.
After the victim posted the post, some netizens left a message saying that the victim was also very responsible for not discovering his father’s injury in time, and thought that his father was not suitable for living alone; some kindly suggested that the victim could contact a social worker and apply for a meal delivery service or order takeaway. Some netizens even met the father of the victim and shared with the victim:
I seem to have met your father. He walked around (with a cane) and asked me if I could borrow a stool from the shop to sit down. I borrowed a stool for him to sit on the street for a while, and he himself said OK. return. He should be able to travel a long distance, can someone from his family help him buy food? Or order takeaway for him to deliver to his home? I recognize his hat… I’m Belcher…
More comments from netizens:
The victim later added that he was not present at the time, so he did not know about it beforehand, and he did not know until after his father was admitted to the hospital. She confessed that she was duty-bound and very distressed, and reminded:
If you have elderly people, or see an elderly person falling down on the street, you can really take an extra step to call Baiche.
After this incident, the victim said that he would do more research to prevent the incident from happening again.
