Siem Real girl battling face-eating disease necrosis
Siem Real girl battling face-eating disease necrosis
Holy shit . this is grim.
Soth Rey was working in a Siem Reap massage parlour to help support her parents and three younger siblings when she contracted an unexpected illness.
According to Rey’s 20-year-old sister Soth Borey, the young woman fell ill with a sinus infection in December. They brought her to a doctor in Siem Reap who said she had the flu. But weeks later, ulcers developed in her nose, and the doctor opted to pull some of Rey’s teeth, Borey says.
It’s unclear exactly what type of medical treatment Rey received, and her sister says she doesn’t remember the doctor’s name. But when Rey didn’t recover, she went to the local Kruu Khmer, a traditional healer who spit and blew on the ulcers for a month. The illness persisted, and then Rey’s face began to disintegrate.
Only two days ago, when – at death’s door – Rey was checked into a new hospital in Phnom Penh, did it become apparent that the 18-year-old was suffering from a rare case of necrosis, a form of rapid cell degeneration that has transformed the right side of her face into a wide, gaping hole that exposes her teeth and bones. Her nose and right cheek have vanished entirely, eaten away by the illness. It’s unclear whether her right eye is still intact, but her lower eyelid has disintegrated.
Now she is fighting for her life.

Incompetent doctors should be disbarred, the Kru Khmer should be jailed.
One Kru Khmer I heard about tried to rape a guy as part of his 'treatment', and has probably raped many others. Fucking charlatans.

I wish I didn't see that, very disturbing. Is there not a way you can hide that photo and make it available only for those who really want to see?
The problem with the world is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Was it really a surprise to see a nasty picture given the thread title. If you are that sensitive don't open the thread.

It really does make my piss boil when I hear about the "medical" practices in Cambodia, so much so I will refrain from any Harvey Dent cracks. I'll be surprised if she survives the current infection or the others that she will be wide open to for a long time.
One can only hope that, should she survive the coming weeks and months, some wealthy benefactor steps forward to get her to a facility that can undertake the type of reconstructive surgery that could even come close to repairing that.
I don't know what the answer is to the charlatan doctors and juju men. Jail time or public retribution would be a start but the way the country runs only the latter may possibly occur. The people who get fucked by the doctors are the same people getting fucked by a government that has no interest in protecting them. They are also the same ignorant, superstitious people who, instead of lynching the fuckers, are taking their sick to them.

Regarding witch doctors - I see that there is a new film coming out about one at this weekend's Cambodia International Film Festival. Called Mind Cage. Looks like an interesting film. Poster looks cool anyway.

He's quite right and quoting this shows the code.
