Insensitive FB user barges into Hanan's ICU, makes 'viral' video
Mail This Article
Kochi: In an insensitive act, a youth on Monday barged into the intensive care unit of a hospital in Kodungalloor where Hanan Hamid, the Kochi girl whose life story had become viral recently, was undergoing treatment after she met with an accident. His aim -- to make a viral video.
Rajesh Raman, a native of Methala village in Kodungalloor, breached the hospital security and Hanan's privacy in a bid to 'make a viral content on his own.' Rajesh barged into the intensive care unit of Kodungalloor Modern Hospital and went live on Facebook with Hanan, against the restrictions imposed by the hospital authorities and doctors. The video which went viral on social media within minutes, however, invited more negative remarks than positive.
Authorities of Modern Hospital informed the police immediately about the incident, though a formal complaint hasn't been registered yet. In the video, Rajesh is seen forcing Hanan to speak about her condition. Hanan is seen helplessly narrating her condition even as indirectly conveying her unwillingness to appear before the camera. Hanan was initially admitted to the Kodungalloor hospital and was later transferred to Ernakulam Medical Trust for expert treatment.
Rajesh posted his live video on the verified official page of a popular Facebook channel. In the video, he asserted that Hanan suffered only minor injuries in the accident.
However, the authorities of the Medical Trust hospital confirmed that the young Kochi girl has fractured her twelfth vertebra in the mishap, which left both of her legs numb. An immediate spinal surgery was conducted to correct the fracture and compression to Hanan's vertebra. The surgery was successful, according to the hospital sources. She has to stay in hospital for a couple of weeks.
Hanan shot into limelight after media reports showed her selling fish in her college uniform to make both ends meet.
