받아주는 병원 없어 겨우 입원했지만…요양병원 병실서 다리 절단｜지금 이 뉴스

Police launched an investigation after a human body part was discovered at a recycling facility in Incheon, but it was confirmed to be the leg of a nursing home patient rather than the result of a violent crime. It was revealed that the patient, in their 80s, had been admitted to this nursing home after searching for a hospital willing to accept them following a diagnosis that treatment at a major hospital was difficult. The hospital stated that the leg had suffered severe necrosis, with the knee joint already separated, and that due to nerve damage, the leg was amputated with scissors in the patient's room without anesthesia. A commotion ensued when the severed leg was discovered during sorting at a resource recovery center after a hospital volunteer mistook it for a medical plaster bandage and discarded it in a recycling bag. The police have converted their large-scale investigation headquarters into a dedicated task force and are investigating whether the amputation, performed in a hospital room rather than an operating room, violates the Medical Service Act, in addition to charges of violating the Waste Management Act. 📢 Now, live coverage of the hot topic! ☞ Watch JTBC Mobile Live https://www.youtube.com/@jtbc_news/st... ☞ Subscribe to JTBC YouTube (   / jtbc10news  ) ☞ JTBC YouTube Community (   / jtbc10news  ) #JTBC News Official Page https://news.jtbc.co.kr Facebook   / jtbcnews   X (Twitter)   / jtbc_news   Instagram   / jtbcnews   ☏ Send a Tip https://news.jtbc.co.kr/report Broadcaster: JTBC (https://jtbc.co.kr)
