In social networks, posts with a photograph from the hospital, the floor of which are filled with bills, are popular in social networks. It is alleged that the money in a fit of despair was scattered by the patient, to whom the doctor said that she could not be cured. We checked the authenticity of such publications.
In Runet, this story became very popular in July 2024. For example, July 7 Public "The world of facts"On VKontakte (12.1 million views at the time of writing this analysis) said:“ A woman with cancer came to a private hospital with a bag of money, begging a doctor to save her. The doctor said that cancer is at the last stage and nothing can be done. In despair, she scattered money along the corridor, shouting: "Why money? Do not buy health, time or life for them!" This event makes us think: is it worth chasing the material one in order to realize the true value of things in the face of death? ”
Viral became publications in other communities in the same social networks, among which "News today"(1.6 million views),"Moscow"(657 000),"True news"(615 000),"Hot events"(498 000) and"Russian news"(354 000). Similar posts in July 2024 were posted in "Classmates"(One of the posts scored 13,500 grades), Instagram* (one of the posts received 43,000 likes), Telegram (examples here, here And here) and on "Picabu". However, publications with the same photo and a similar history appeared in the Russian -speaking segment of the Internet and earlier - for example, in Tiktok in September 2023, on Instagram in the summer of 2021 (here And here) and in "VKontakte»In the spring of the same year.
The Russian -speaking posts mentioned above does not say which country this story happened and where the hospital was from the photograph. However, in other languages, the bike has been spreading for several years, and the scene varies from publication to publication. For example, on Facebook* in some posts it is indicated that the picture was taken in the Chinese city Harbin, in other places of shooting, they call the hospital in Nigeria.
With the help of the opposite Search According to the image in the Tineye service, “tested” found a viral photograph in a slightly higher quality than in the posts given at the beginning of analysis. On this version of the picture you can notice the floor pointer, where it is written in Chinese "exit", And scattered banknotes visually resemble one of the options for the bill with a face value of 100 yuan. In addition, we found this photo with logos several Chinese news portals.
Also thanks to the opposite search It was “verified” that for the first time the distributed photo appeared on the network in the summer of 2014. For example, then Taiwanese and Chinese media wrote about him, among which Ettude, Epoch Times, Shanghaiist, sina.com.cn And sohu.com. According to news notes on these resources, the viral picture captures the consequences of the incident, which occurred in early July 2014. So, in the Chinese social network Weibo similar photos Published One of the doctors of the hospital with Harbin Medical university. According to him, a man who wanted to find his former girl who worked there a nurse came to the medical institution. It is reported that this man was very angry when he found out that his lover had a new boyfriend with BMW, so he brought a bag full of bills of 100 yuan to the hospital. According to the stories of the witnesses, the couple quarreled, and in a fit of rage, the former boyfriend began to throw banknotes into the girl, which scattered along the sick leave. Then the hospital security service intervened in the situation.
It is “tested” to reliably does not know how a rich woman with the terminal stage of cancer began to appear in history, but it can be assumed that the error arose on the principle of a “broken phone”. So, we found that already in August 2014 in one of the Chinese forums photos Commented So: “The Magnat-billioner is hysterically scattered money from despair in the first hospital of Harbin Medical University. What is money when a person’s life is running out and wealth cannot save him? At that moment, these banknotes are only pieces of paper in his eyes. ” Probably, in the future, users thought that the billionaire was sick with cancer, and with the subsequent distribution of history, the hero was replaced by gender.
Thus, such messages about a woman who, having learned the diagnosis, scattered money in the hospital, are completely invented. Nevertheless, the photo with a bunch of banknotes on the floor was actually taken in the hospital, but the money was scattered by a jealous boyfriend during a skirmish with his ex -girlfriend, who worked as a nurse.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Instagram and Facebook, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
