A private hospital in Vietnam is facing accusations of defrauding elderly patients through a fabricated colon cleansing program. The hospital allegedly added soy sauce to cleansing solutions to falsely indicate the presence of toxins in patients’ bodies. This tactic was reportedly used to convince hundreds of seniors to undergo unnecessary and expensive treatments, costing them billions of Vietnamese Dong. Authorities are investigating claims that the hospital created a false narrative of detoxification to exploit vulnerable individuals. The scheme involved creating elaborate treatment plans designed to extract large sums of money from patients. This incident raises concerns about unethical practices within the private healthcare sector and the targeting of elderly populations. The hospital has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations.
