The story of a nurse working in a pediatric intensive care unit personally requesting a gift from the manufacturer of a snack that a patient wanted the most but could not be obtained because it had already been discontinued has become a hot topic.

On the 8th, Pusan ​​National University Yangsan Hospital announced that Nurse Choi Da-jeong, who is working in the pediatric intensive care unit at Pusan ​​National University Children’s Hospital, purchased and personally delivered ‘Strawberry Whale Rice’, which was discontinued from Orion, to a 3-year-old boy admitted to the children’s hospital on the 15th of last month. .

Nurse Choi Da-jeong said she wanted to give a recently hospitalized patient a gift after learning that when she was able to eat after fasting for several days, she said that what she wanted to eat most was ‘strawberry whale rice’.

However, the product was a season-limited product and was currently difficult to find either online or offline.

Accordingly, Nurse Da-jeong Choi wrote a story and posted it on the Orion website, and upon seeing this, Orion’s customer service center contacted Nurse Da-jeong Choi directly and promised to produce and send strawberry whale rice.

Despite the difficulty of obtaining new ingredients because it was a season-limited product, Orion made strawberry whale rice by hand in a laboratory rather than a factory, and even conducted a microbial test as it was food eaten by sick children.

The strawberry whale rice made in this way arrived at the pediatric intensive care unit at Pusan ​​National University Children’s Hospital on the 15th of last month. In addition to strawberry whale rice, Orion also sent three boxes of various Orion snacks and stickers.

Nurse Choi Da-jeong said, “It was a very happy and grateful day to be able to become Santa’s nurse for a while and deliver joy to children in December last year (when Christmas was on),” adding, “Medical staff cannot replace the role of parents, but they provide assistance to patients and guardians. “I will do my best to make the hospital staff feel like they are another family,” he said.
