On October 20, a famous japanese hospital issued an apology statement, which made people look completely stupid -
The drinking water pipe in the hospital was mistakenly connected to the toilet, and this drinking was nearly 30 years!
Circumstances: Osaka University Hospital, Osaka University School of Medicine, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture.
It is reported that the hospital was completed in 1993, and the laying of pipelines was also carried out in that year.
According to Osaka University's arrangement, the plan is to flush the toilet with well water that has only been simply treated, or as cooling water for air conditioning.
However, the workers at that time confused the piping of tap water and well water treatment water.
As a result, in the past 28 years,
People in the hospital use "toilet water" to wash their hands, rinse their mouths, and drink it directly.
And the tap water, which is more in place for relative treatment, is used to flush the toilet...
Recently, when the hospital was preparing to build a new building and asked the construction unit to check the construction situation, it discovered this problem.
It was confirmed that there were 120 taps in the hospital that were supposed to supply drinking water, all of which were mistakenly connected to the water supply pipes used to flush toilets.
Immediately after the incident was exposed, Osaka University suspended the supply of drinking water from the hospital and issued a statement to reassure everyone.
The hospital said that since April 2014, when it was recorded, they had checked the water in the hospital once a week, and it was "no problem" in terms of color, taste and smell, and there were no related cases.
Still, the process has to go through.
Hospital leadership held a press conference and bowed in front of the camera to apologize.
Vice President Kazuhiko Nakatani said, "As a university hospital that provides advanced medical services, it has caused everyone uneasiness, and I am very sorry for this. ”
The vice-chancellor also revealed that there are 105 other buildings in the university that also use simple treatment of well water, and the university will check all the pipelines to confirm.
Seeing this, Japanese netizens are particularly proud:
"For 28 years, well water has been used as drinking water, and there have been no health problems.
Rather, this news is showing off the safety of Japanese water treatment technology to the world. ”
The Japanese netizen estimated that he only saw the last words, not the previous text.
In fact, before the Osaka University Affiliated Hospital broke out to drink "toilet water", Gunma University sounded the alarm bell first!
On the afternoon of October 19, Gunma University Hospital found that 10 babies, including those admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), had turned pale and had symptoms of methemoglobinemia.
Suddenly, the same disease appears on such a large area, and there must be an extraordinary strangeness.
It was confirmed that the 10 symptomatic babies had one thing in common, that is, they all drank milk powder made from hospital tap water.
After investigating the water quality, the hospital found that the "concentration of nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in tap water exceeded the standard".
It is worth mentioning that gunma University Hospital actually filters and purifies well water and uses it directly as drinking water.
Gunma University Hospital said it conducts water quality checks every month, but no problems were found last month.
However, since this accident occurred, the hospital can only suspend the use of well water, and temporarily supply water by water trucks.
Fortunately, the physical condition of 10 babies who developed symptoms has improved.
And the previous one, trying to brag about the safety of Japanese water treatment technology, this is considered to be punched in the face by their own people...
