【明報專訊】TWO INCIDENTS involving elders happened the day before yesterday (July 26). In one case, an 84-year-old man living with his son-in-law, unable to take care of himself, starved to death after his son-in-law fell dead before assistance could be summoned. In the other case, a 78-year-old lady took her grandson, who had fallen into a coma, to hospital for emergency treatment, but the patient was beyond resuscitation, and then it was found that, in spite of her advanced age, she had to work and at the same time take care of three small grandchildren. Regrettably, in Hong Kong, these are not isolated cases.
