Αν τυχόν σας έλθει ένα e-mail με το παρακάτω περιεχόμενο διαγράψτε το και μην το προωθείτε γιατί πρόκειται για αστικό μύθο (Hoax ή urban legend).
Ο αστικός αυτός μύθος πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε στην Αμερική (Νέα Ορλεάνη) με παραπλήσιο περιεχόμενο το 1997. Ο μύθος κυκλοφόρησε μέσα από e-mails, με φαξ, με ψιθύρους στόμα με στόμα και με τίτλο "Travelers Beware,".
Υποτίθεται ότι άτομα που ταξίδευαν με δόλωμα μια καυτή βραδιά κατέληγαν σε κάποιο δωμάτιο ξενοδοχείου όπου τους γινόταν αφαίρεση νεφρού για να πουληθεί στην μαύρη αγορά.
Η ιστορία αυτή είχε πάρει τρομακτικές διαστάσεις με αποτέλεσμα να επέμβει το ίδρυμα The National Kidney Foundation και να ζητήσει να του γίνουν επίσημες καταγγελίες από άτομα που υπέστησαν αφαίρεσης νεφρού κάτω από παρόμοιες συνθήκες. Παρ' όλο ότι η σχετική ανακοίνωση κυκλοφόρησε ευρύτατα στην Αμερική δεν υπήρξαν σχετικές καταγγελίες.
Ο αστικός μύθος πέρασε τον Ατλαντικό και εξαπλώθηκε σε πολλές χώρες του κόσμου και έφτασε και σε εμάς με την παρακάτω μορφή.
"ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ....διαβαστε το και μεταδωστε το
Αυτή η ιστορία είναι πραγματική, συνέβη στο αδελφό μιας φίλης μου πριν από ένα μήνα. Διαβάστε το και ενημερώστε όσο περισσότερους μπορείτε.
Ο νέος αυτός είναι 30 ετών και χωρίς σχέση. Πήγε το βράδυ αυτό σε ένα μπαρ για να πιει ένα ποτό και ενώ κάθονταν μόνος παρατήρησε μια κοπέλα από απέναντι να τον κοιτά. Αφού αντάλλαξαν μερικές ματιές αποφάσισε να πάει να τις μιλήσει. Ήπιαν μαζί δύο ποτά και τότε η κοπέλα προφασίστηκε ότι δεν αισθανέται καλά και παρακάλεσε τον νεαρό να την πάει στο σπίτι της. Αυτός δεν το αρνήθηκε και την πήγε, όταν έφτασαν εκεί του είπε ότι νοιώθει καλύτερα και για να τον ευχαριστήσει του ζήτησε να ανέβει στο σπίτι της να το κεράσει ένα ποτό. Εκείνος πιθανότατα νομίζοντας ότι η βραδιά θα έχει και συνέχεια ανέβηκε μαζί της. Το τελευταίο πράγμα που θυμάται είναι να πίνει δύο γουλιές από το ποτό που του είχε ετοιμάσει η κοπέλα.
Ο νέος ξύπνησε την επόμενη μέρα μέσα σε μία μπανιέρα γεμάτη με παγάκια και ακριβώς μπροστά του στον τοίχο ήταν κολλημένο ένα σημείωμα το οποίο έλεγε " Μην κουνηθείς καθόλου. Δίπλα σου υπάρχει ένα τηλέφωνο. Πάρε αμέσως το 166" . Πανικοβλημένος όπως ήταν πήρε πράγματι το 166 και όταν απάντησε η τηλεφωνήτρια της εξήγησε την κατάσταση. Τότε αυτή τον ρώτησε αν πίσω από την πλάτη του υπήρχε μια μεταλλική πλάκα. Γυρνώντας προσεκτικά είδε ότι όντως είχε μια πλάκα στην πλάτη του και το είπα στην τηλεφωνήτρια. Τότε αυτή του είπε να μην κουνηθεί του ζήτησε την διεύθυνση.
Μετά έμαθε ότι του είχαν αφαιρέσει τον έναν νεφρό!!! Του είχαν τοποθετήσει την πλάκα για να μην μετακινηθεί και τον είχαν στα παγάκια για να μην πεθάνει από ακατάσχετη αιμορραγία αφού είχαν μεν ράψει την τομή αλλά δεν ήταν δυνατόν να ακολουθήσουν την πλήρη ιατρική διαδικασία. Του εξήγησαν δε ότι η αφαίρεση είχε γίνει από χειρουργό και μάλιστα με εκπληκτική δεξιοτεχνία..
Πρέπει να ενημερώσετε όσο περισσότερους μπορείτε γιατί ο ίδιος δεν είναι σε θέση να πάει στα κανάλια και τις εφημερίδες αφού για να ξεπεράσει το σοκ τον παρακολουθεί ψυχίατρος"
Αυτή είναι η ελληνική παραλλαγή του αστικού μύθου. Διαβάστε τώρα και την αμερικάνικη έκδοσή του:
" Subject: Kidney thieves!
THIS IS TRUE STORY, RING THE BOTTOM NUMBER IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT!!
Medical Centre phone number at the end of this story is real. This guy went out on a Saturday night a few weeks ago to a party. He was having a good time and had a couple of beers and some girl seemed to like him and invited him to go to another party. He quickly agreed and decided to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment and they continued to drink, and even got involved with some drug (unknown).
The next thing he knew, he woke up completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice. He was still feeling the effects of the drugs, but looked around to see he was alone. He looked down at his chest, which had CALL 000 or YOU'LL DIE" written on it with lipstick. He saw a phone was on a stand next to the tub so he picked it up and dialled. He explained to the EMS operator what the situation was and that he didn't know where he was, what he took, or why he was really calling. She advised him to get out of the tub. He did, and he appeared normal, so she told him to check his back. He did, he found two 9 inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get back into the tub immediately, and they sent a rescue team over.
Apparently, after being examined, he found out more of what had happened. His kidneys were stolen. They were worth $10,000 each in the black market.Several guesses are in order: The second party was a sham, the people involved had to be at least medical students and it was not just recreational drugs he was given. Regardless, he is currently in the hospital on a life support, awaiting a spare kidney. The University of Sydney in conjunction with the Royal Prince Alfred hospital is conducting tissue research to match the victim with a donor.
I wish to warn you about a new crime ring that is targeting business travellers. This ring is well organized and well funded, has very skilled personnel and is currently operating in most major cities around the world and recently very active in Sydney . The crime begins when a business traveller goes to a lounge for a drink at the end of the work day. A person in the bar walks up as they sit alone and offers to buy them a drink. The last thing the traveller remembers until they wake up in a hotel room bathtub, their body submerged to their neck in ice, is sipping that drink.
There is a note taped to the wall instructing them not to move and to call 000. A phone is on the small table next to the bathtub for them to call. The business traveller calls 000 who have been quite familiar with this crime. The business traveller is instructed by the 000 operator to very slowly and carefully reach behind them and feel there i s a tube protruding from the back. The business traveller finds the tube and answers "YES". The 000 operator tells them to remain still, having already sent paramedics to help. The operator knows that both of the traveller's kidneys had been harvested.
This is not a scam or out of science fiction novel. It is real. It is documented and confirmable. If you travel or someone close to you travels, please be careful. Sadly,this is very true. My friend's husband is a Sydney EMT and they have received alerts regarding this crime ring. It is to be taken very seriously. The daughter of a friend of a fire-fighter had this happen to her.
Skilled doctors are performing these crimes! (which, by the way have been highly noted in the Brisbane area). Additionally, the military has received alerts regarding this. I REALLY WANT AS MANY PEOPLE TO SEE THIS AS POSSIBLE SO PLEASE BOUNCE THIS TO WHOEVER YOU CAN. (Person's Name) DML/Lab Administration Medical Manager Research And Development
