Mad props to the nurse who went out of her way to explain the body donation, its a traumatizing time, and a truly important decision that deserves to be fully understood.

My mother works in the medical field, and she told me that even when you donate your body for medical research, you're typically cremated after being studied, so if your loved ones don't get your ashes back, there's a problem.

I’m genuinely so proud of Kwon Dae-Hee’s mom for getting the law passed. It’s really heartbreaking that it took something like this for it to happen 😞

As an anesthiologist this cctv footage triggered me. Where was the anesthiologist ???? Just to make it clear, the anesthesiologist MUST remain with the patient throughout the entire surgery and after the surgery until the patient regain consciousness. We are not allowed to leave the patient just with surgeons/nurses/assistents, an anesthiologist has the responsibility to monitor the patient's vital signs, respond immediately to compliactions and adjust anesthesia levels the WHOLE TIME (we would ensure that another anesthesiologist is in the OR if we need to go to the bathroom or have a break).

I was 19, my daughter was 6montha old. My mom called me in the middle of the night asking me what was wrong with my daughter. In that very moment I had just woke up out of the blue to check on her and she wasn't in her crib. I found her crawling through the living room on the way to my room once I turned all the lights on. She was safe, , she had climbed out of her crib and was crawling through the house in the dark. The fact that me and my mom both woke up at the same time bc we knew something was wrong with my daughter is definitely proof of mother's intuition

Dae-hee already looked incredibly conventionally attractive to me, the fact that the job market is so toxic, shallow and messed that he felt the need change himself further and invest his hard earned money just for the CHANCE to get promoted is astonishing, I have no words.

Mothers intuition is 100 per cent real!
When my daughter was 8 mionths old, i suddenly woke in the middle of the night, around 3am, and KNEW something was wrong. Like a punch to the gut!
I went to my daughters crib and realised she looked very different, swollen, purple....
i took her into the hallway under the light and she was limp and barely breathing...
Turns out she was going into anaphylaxis due to an allergy to penicillin that she was prescribed for a chest infection.
The Drs at hospital told me she would not have made it until morning if i didn't wake when i did.
She was literally minutes from suffocation.
The weird part is, she didnt cry, she was barely moving so its not like she disturbed me in my sleep.
Mothers intuition saved my daughters life. period.
Shes 18 now and loving life <3

It is so true that South Koreans get plastic surgery just for their jobs. I worked at an English hagwon in SK for six years. One of my younger Korean coworkers desperately wanted to stop teaching and get a corporate job. She kept failing interviews until she got double eyelid surgery and a nose job. She literally landed the first job she applied for after the procedures healed. I was happy for her to get her dream job but sad at the same time.

Y’all have no idea how scary surgeons/doctors are when you’re unconscious.
I got in an awful wreck and was close to dying, suffering awful injuries, so I was placed in the ICU for a few weeks. In that particular ICU, patients are put in a room with a curtain dividing you and the next patient.
This man was in there due to a bad motorcycle crash and was essentially on his death bed. Whilst unconscious, the nurses were joking about how “bikers aren’t people, they’re so weird, blah blah blah” and were giggling and making snide remarks about his biking group who asked to come in and pray over him. It really made me see doctors so differently. Then, when his daughter came in, she profusely thanked them profusely for how “well they seemed to be treating them” completely unaware of how cruel they were actually being. It forever changed how I saw medical staff.

"I think he's having fun up there. He's too busy to show up in his mom's dreams." 😭♥️

[heatherdovich]

Mothers intuition is extremely strong! My great-grandmother was woken up one night because it sounded like someone was knocking on her bedroom window. When she went to look, she saw her son outside. She was shocked because he was in America and she was in Poland at the time. She went to let him in but there was no one there, not even foot prints in the snow. She got a call later that he had passed away. I just got chills writing this.

Doctor here.

When we call emergency contacts for critical patients we basically have the same protocol for non-critical patients. We just call them, confirm their identity, inform them that they're the emergency contact listed for (patient's full name), and that the patient is currently in the hospital and requires their presence for papers and so and so. We will discuss the specifics of the patients' condition in person only. Though if the patient has a specific urgent need for like, blood or something… we will inform the emergency contact over the phone that if they can, to bring willing donor candidates etc.

We never tell emergency contacts over the phone that their patient is perfectly fine/not fine. First off, that's not something anyone can guarantee 100% right off the bat. There's also the fact that patient confidentiality is at play and we must first visually and legally (with their ID, etc) confirm that we really are speaking to the listed emergency contact before sharing anything about the patient's status.

Also, the doctors are not supposed to leave an opened patient alone in the OR without any kind of doctor. And I've never met an anaesthesiologist leave a patient before the patient fully wakes up in the Recovery Room. They're with the patient from the start of anaesthesia to closing, to transfer of the patient from operating room to recovery room. The anaesthesiologists constantly check the patient's vitals and should they step out a bit, another anaesthesiologist/anes resident should take over the monitoring.

Also, should the surgery pause for any length of time, the opened parts of the patient are covered with a sterile cloth (if possible, since there are surgery sites that are too sensitive to be covered by anything) to prevent loss of fluids and as respect for the patient's dignity.

Thank you so much for covering this story... The victim is my friend's brother and I watched how his death has affected him and his family so much, especially his mum. I think this is a great example of how tenacity of a mother for her son's justice not only gained it but also brought a positive change to how the hospitals operate. It's sad that something like this had to happen for a change to occur though...

[kirageorge]

A mother's intuition works even when you are not dying or dead. It's super strong. She knows what is happening to you, sometimes before you know yourself.

[ximenaStay]

Korea's judicial system is a mockery, those sentences and laws in which the guilty are capable of receiving a very low sentence or no punishment at all.

[alyssamitchell]

Mother’s intuition is really strong, today makes 5 years since my eldest brother died. He got into a car accident a week before his death and was in a coma, the night he got into the accident my mother couldn’t sleep and had terrible stomach pains. My sister received the call first and when she went to wake my mother up, with one touched she woke up and was like “Which one of your siblings died”
She knew one of us died that night before receiving the news.

I hope his law goes into effect internationally. Camera’s in all operating rooms should be mandatory….coming from a former health care professional.

Mother intuition is sooo real. My cousin fell and broke both his knees at work and my aunt immediately felt that something had happened to him and called him, he didn’t answer but later found out what had happened. (He lived in Washington DC and she lived in Central America).
