A single hug from a colleague. Yes, she remembered. She went home writhing in pain. His chest was writhing in pain. Two days after that she was literally bedridden. The pain did not go away even after looking at the hot oil on the chest. Then she went to the hospital. An X-ray revealed that she had broken three ribs. And the treatment. Costs thereof. As I had to take leave for several days, my income also suffered. Unfulfilled, she went to court for compensation. The court recently awarded her a hefty compensation.

The incident took place in May last year in China. An employee at a private firm in Yuyang City, Hunan Province suffered three broken ribs in a single hug.

She was talking to a friend on her way out of the office when the hug that broke her ribs took place. A male colleague was the villain. He came closer and hugged her tightly. Literally a hug and a half. After that she couldn’t breathe. The whole body is tired. Severe pain in breast and chest area. Somehow she left the office and reached home. Afraid of hospital expenses, she tried to treat herself with boiling oil. Still, the pain did not subside. That’s how she went to the hospital.

Went there and x-rayed and found broken ribs!

It was found that two ribs on the right side and one bone on the left side were broken. Doctors started treatment. That itself required good money. After a week in the hospital, the pain subsided. A few days later at home. She was financially strapped as she took unpaid leave. That’s how she went looking for her colleague who hugged her. She told him about her situation and asked him to help her financially. He did not agree. He argued that there was no evidence that the bone fracture was caused by his hug.

That’s why she filed a complaint last year in a court in Yunxi. Then the court examined the incident in detail. The court ruled that she had not been involved in anything else in the days before she went to the hospital. The court also stated that the cause of her bone fracture was hugging. Subsequently, the court asked him to compensate her. The court ordered a compensation of ten thousand yuan (Rs. 1.16 lakh).
