An enthusiastic Taiwanese caregiver asked for help in the Facebook group "Hong Kong people in Yilan" yesterday (13th). She pointed out that a 60-year-old man from Hong Kong was suspected of falling and hurting his cervical vertebra. The thief, in the absence of Taiwan's health insurance, is financially strapped and unable to perform surgery.

Seeing that the 60-year-old man had no relatives and no reason, and was bedridden all day long, although she was not the other's caregiver, she couldn't bear to ask for help online, hoping to find relatives for the male victim and help the public, "Is there any kind-hearted people who can help? "Some netizens pointed out that they had contacted the Immigration Department, but they could not accept it because they were not family members.

The relevant post is accompanied by several photos, including a bed-ridden photo of the male victim surnamed Xu (61), hospital bed information and his Hong Kong permanent resident identity card.

According to Nursing Lu, who posted the post, she is the nurse of one of the patients in Shuanghe Hospital. Xu Nan was admitted to the hospital earlier and stayed in the adjacent hospital bed, and has been lacking relatives and friends to take care of her.

Seeing this, she learned from the other party and learned that Xu Nan had fallen in the swimming pool earlier, injured his cervical vertebra, and his hands were paralyzed. The Taiwan dollars were missing and suspected of being stolen.

The caregiver pointed out that Xu Nan claimed that he had been in Taiwan for more than 30 years, "there is no news at home, and he didn't want to look for it himself." He also did not have health insurance and was financially strapped for fear of high medical costs and could not perform surgery. "The doctor can only Give him some medicines to reduce inflammation and swelling, no surgery." She pointed out that Xu Nan could not move, he had to insert a catheter and use a diaper, and he could not take care of himself when eating, drinking and bathing.

Because she was about to leave the hospital, she was worried about Xu Nan's plight, so she turned to the Internet for help, hoping that someone would help to find relatives or provide assistance, "I don't have money for surgery, and I don't have any friends. Do you have health insurance or medical resources in Hong Kong? help!"

As soon as the post came out, netizens in Hong Kong and Taiwan immediately responded enthusiastically. Some pointed out that an enthusiastic citizen surnamed Gao immediately gave away diapers, wet tissues, nursing pads and other items.

Many Taiwanese netizens also enthusiastically reprinted it immediately, and pointed out that they could contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department; some Hong Kong netizens said they had contacted the Immigration Department, but the other party said that they had to be contacted by their family members or related persons (such as local hospitals) before they could accept it. Can someone tell the relevant person to contact the Immigration Department?”
