The fisherman had experienced a terrible headache, falling into convulsions and frothing on his mouth when his ship was fishing at sea on September 25.

He was taken to the clinic on Phan Vinh Island for emergency treatment. The medical staff of the infirmary in Phan Vinh Island provided first aid and connected with Military Hospital 175 in Ho Chi Minh City and Military Hospital 7 of Military Region 3 through a telemedicine system.

Doctors of Military Hospital 175 diagnosed that the fisherman had a brain blood vessel ruptured or broken.

Physicians advised their peers on the island to put the patient on ventilator and use drug against swollen brain. After receiving the treatment, the seriously-ill fisherman was transferred to the mainland for further treatment.
