Is it true that this photo shows a patient's patient in gas?

In November 2023, a frame was dispersed in social networks, which allegedly showed a man in the Palestinian hospital. Medical devices are incorrectly installed on the face of this person, which is why this was called the production. We checked the authenticity of the viral image.

The distributed picture is a photograph where a TV is captured, which shows a frame with a patient, as states, hospitals in Gaza. It is assumed that this is part of a certain video. The attention of Internet users to this patient was attracted by incorrectly installed medical equipment. For example, a pulsoximeter instead of the index finger is on the nose, the electrodes of the cardiomonitor instead of the chest are attached to the cheeks, and oxygen masks for some reason are attached to the ears of this person. Based on the frame, the authors of numerous publications Make a ridicule Palestine medicine and called a person from a picture by a participant in the production.

The most popular are similar posts on Facebook* (Examples here, here, here, here, here And here), where is one of the records at the time of this analysis Sicked more than 1,500 reposts, as well as in the social network X (former Twitter; here, here, here And here) where one of the tweets received 95,000 views and almost 800 reposts. There are similar publications in English. For example, on the site 9GAG photo Signed The phrase "poor Palestinians" with a laughing smile.

Using the usual back search by image ("verified" used Google Lens service) You can find out that the picture of interest to us appeared on the network at least 2019 year. Moreover, on different platforms there are popular publications with the same photo for 2020, 2021th, 2022th And The beginning of 2023But until November this year, the frame was not associated with Palestine. One of the first to turn to this was our reader Mikhail Yucis, who wrotethat the viral photo shows the frame “From some series (either comedy, or medical) no later than in 2019. "

This picture with incorrectly installed medical devices in fact I got it V many CHAVENT OF THE Blaves In the cinema and on television. Moreover, in most of these materials Approvedthat the frame is with this patient Take It is from the series. Sometimes specifiedthat we are talking about some kind of unnamed soap opera (TV shows in this format differ in long duration). For example, in 2019 on Reddit Image Commented So: "How stupid can the soap opera?" As a result, the post scored almost 45,000 pluses from the site users and I got it In the Pewdiepie video (11 million views) - one of the most popular video bloggers.

Then another question arises: is it true that the authors of the show made so many ridiculous mistakes in one scene?

In the upper right corner of the frame in the distributed photo, the logo is noticeable Astro Warna - Malaysian television network. “Verified” found out that the scene of interest was in a full -length television film Laksa di Ambang Watiwhose premiere took place In Malaysia in the summer of 2018. According to reviews and given on cinema sites, the picture was shot in the genre of romantic comedy. According to the plot, the protagonist of Mail with his friends want to get the best laxa recipe (popular in Malaysia dish With noodles) and for this they get acquainted with the strange girl Vati. Scene with the hero in the hospital It begins Closer to the end of the film at the mark of 1 h. 24 min. 6 sec.

After the release of the film on the screens in 2018, some spectators criticized The picture for medical errors on the viral frame, and some considered it for a parody. Soon it stood up to defend his project director Al Jafrey MD Yusop. In his social networks he wrotethat he specially planned that scene so that the mistakes were present in it. As evidence, the director brought fast With orders, published even before the premiere. According to him words, he wanted to make fun of "Malaysian dramas in which there are always mistakes." In 2019, when the frame was encircled on Reddit and YouTube, the director again declaredthat it was a satire.

Thus, the messages of 2023 that a hospital in a gas is shown in the distributed photo is unreliable. In fact, this is a frame from the 2018 Malaysian comedy, in which the authors, according to the director, specially allowed a number of blunders for the sake of a humorous effect.

*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns the social network Facebook, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
