THAI social media lambasted a Facebook post that emerging from Laos showing three persons with wounds on the their abdomen holding up a mobile phone with the caption saying “Agreed for iPhone14” which they interpreted as meaning selling their kidney to get this newly-released cell phone, TV Channel 7 and Matichon newspaper said today (Sept. 11).

 

Mr. Pakphum Dejhassadin, a medical technologist who runs the popular Panda Lab Doctor webpage, too commented on this post saying he did not quite understand whether it was about selling a kidney to buy a mobile phone or not but some people who do not know better could misunderstand.

 

This photo was traced to a beauty clinic in Laos with the writer saying in the caption that iPhone 14 had arrived and workers are selling their kidney to the doctor (just joking).

If it was India, I'd believe it !

To the citizens of wealthy countries, it is a joke. 

 

For the people of fourth world countries, it is scary.

Probably a new word created now: "Frikney. (front kidney)
With cars, they use now words like:" Frunk".

Could you quote the Facebook post?

Just wonder how they can show their new phone yesterday or before, as iPhone 14 is not available before 16th September...????

Is an adapter required to enable an I-phone to filter urine?

[ed strong]

 

An iphone is hardly compensation for a kidney, even in Thailand.

 

NHS England will reimburse costs and expenses if you donate a kidney to them.

 

They wont quote a price however its thought around £3,000 - £7,000 for your living kidney. (i.e from a live donor)

I beg to differ, I had my right kidney removed in 2019 and it was removed from the front and I have the scars to prove it

1st case of this kind was recorded in China, not India.
