At Bucheon Double Eugene Hospital, where famous psychiatrist Yang Jae-woong, who is scheduled to marry Hani from EXID, recently died in a closed ward, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea (hereinafter referred to as the NHRC) plans to investigate the hospital and Yang Jae-woong's hospital director this month.

According to Hankyoreh on the 7th, NHRC officials have secured various medical records and CCTV videos of victims related to the death of Bucheon Double Eugene Hospital, and an on-site investigation is left in August" he said.

Through an on-site investigation, the Human Rights Commission will meet with Yang Jae-woong, the head of the hospital, the respondent, and reference persons, and decide whether to investigate in earnest after examining whether the medical records conform to the facts.

A 33-year-old woman A died at around 3:30 a.m. on May 27. It was 17 days after he was admitted to the hospital to treat addiction to diet pills containing narcotics. The cause of death was presumed to be intestinal obstruction. In the CCTV footage released at the time of the incident, A, who was hospitalized in a single room, grabbed his stomach and complained of pain. Afterwards, when A knocked on the door until late at night, the nursing assistant and guardian fed him medicine and tied him to bed. And it is known that A was found in a cardiac arrest state at around 3:40 a.m.

Compared to the time of admission, the bereaved family did not receive medical treatment from the internal medicine doctor of the hospital as well as other hospitals, even though the patient's stomach was severely swollen"It's obvious that my stomach is weird, but I tied it up in a single room until I died and gave him medicine," he said. Accordingly, the bereaved families filed a criminal complaint against the medical staff and filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea.

Director Yang Jae-woong, who is widely known to the public for appearing on entertainment programs and hosting YouTube channels, apologized belatedly in a press release of his agency Mystic Story on July 29 after a series of media reports after not apologizing to the bereaved families for about two months after the incident. In response, the bereaved family refused to accept the apology, saying, `Do you play the media as an entertainer, not as a hospital director?"

In addition, when I checked the progress record of A, who was hospitalized due to diet drug addiction, the drugs she took on the first day of hospitalization were 5mg of Peridol tablet, 1mg of Artivan tablet, 2mg of Rispeldon tablet, 100mg of Cuatin tablet, and 200mg of Cuetin tablet.

One specialist seems to have decided that a single drug cannot bring sufficient sedation. Most of these are antipsychotic and psychotropic drugs, and especially risfeldon is a high-titer product (strong effect per milligram)." When these drugs are mixed and injected, 'elephant injection' is made enough to knock down even elephants, which means that it is a powerful drug. Of course, there are side effects.

Earlier, it was belatedly known that Yang Jae-woong expressed his happiness by announcing his marriage to his public lover Hani four days after the patient's death, and criticism against Hani, a bride-to-be, poured out.

Meanwhile, the bereaved family is scheduled to hold a rally with the Korea Federation of Mental Disabilities on the 9th to find out the truth about A's death and to punish those responsible.
