A nursing hospital in Gwangju on a dark night.
A man in his 20s with tattoos all over his body hangs precariously from the balcony railing on the fourth floor.
Fire and rescue workers who were dispatched after receiving the report urgently install air mats and persuade the man with hospital officials.
[Hospitalized patient: (Come up.) No.
(Then what are you going to do?) To jump off.
Please call the nurse earlier.
The nurse cut off the phone with my belongings.] As the
man continued to smoke despite the continuous smoking cessation orders from the medical staff, the nurse collected the cigarette and made a fuss to ask for it back.
An arrest warrant was issued for this man on charges of special theft, but he was confirmed to have COVID-19 and was hospitalized for ten days at the hospital.
However, during the hospitalization period, he made a habit of smoking, destroying property, and ordering food for delivery.
Due to concerns about infection, there was no point in reporting it to the police.
