Relatives brought a man in a hospital bed to the bank to withdraw money from his account
A bank customer was hospitalized due to serious health problems. He was so ill that he could not move on his own, but even this did not convince the bank staff to compromise.
A video that has gone viral on social media shows an unknown woman trying to push a man in a hospital bed into a bank in Shandong province after she was told that this was the only way to access his account.
The customer was reportedly hospitalized due to serious health problems. He was so ill that he could not move on his own, but even this did not convince the bank staff. So his relatives had no choice but to bring him in for identification.
They initially wanted to use an ambulance, but the hospital said that service vehicles were only available for emergency cases involving health risks. Unable to pay for the services of a private clinic, they had to push the hospital bed with the patient lying on it all the way to the bank.
It later emerged that the patient's relatives needed money for his treatment, but ironically, the only way to access the account was to endanger his life.
The footage shows a young woman, likely the patient's daughter, trying to push a hospital bed toward a bank teller's counter, trying not to hurt anyone.
The story sparked a heated debate online. Most social media users were inclined to believe that the bank could have made an exception based on the evidence of hospitalization provided by the man's family, and also called the incident a disgrace to Chinese society.
