Bobby Au Yeung Remains in ICU, But Condition Improves
After entering the hospital for acute pneumonia on February 11, Bobby Au Yeung (歐陽震華) has remained in the intensive care unit (ICU). His wife, Rosanna Fu (傅潔嫻) , visited Bobby at Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai and revealed that Bobby’s condition has improved.
Greeting the press with a slight smile, Rosanna said that Bobby is not allowed to eat food yet and remains attached to an intravenous drip. He was more alert and able to have a conversation with his visitors, while urging Rosanna not to worry too much about him. The intake of medications made Bobby feel tired though.
Bobby will be transferred from the ICU to a regular hospital room tomorrow if his vital signs show improvement. Since Bobby is currently in the ICU, many friends wished to visit but decided to wait until his condition was more stable.
It has not been decided whether Bobby will be transferring to another hospital yet.
Bobby’s acute pneumonia was caused by swallowing food too quickly, which entered his windpipe and subsequently his lungs. Rumors continued to circulate that he had ingested too much liquor at his friend’s house party Monday night, which made him collapse into unconsciousness. Bobby’s manager, Lydia, once again clarified, “It doesn’t have anything to do with alcohol. He had choked on food and had a bacterial infection leading to acute pneumonia.”

“Bobby’s acute pneumonia was caused by swallowing food too quickly, which entered his windpipe and subsequently his lungs.”
Can you get pneumonia this way? Shouldn’t this be called choking on your food? Is there a more serious ailment where pneumonia is a symptom but no one is telling?
Imagine the jokes.. in hospital for swallowing too fast…
Funn,
The food bits in the lungs would lead to bacterial infection and subsequently the acute pneumonia, which is the inflammation of the lungs.
Really?? My mom once had this and it was serious, but we were not sure of what the cause was…
It’s called ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA. Look it up.
“Bobby’s acute pneumonia was caused by swallowing food too quickly, which entered his windpipe and subsequently his lungs”.
is this statement said by the doctors of his manager lydia?
Lydia made the statement to the public based on the doctor’s diagnosis.
ok,thank you jayne,because i believe the doctor more hence my question.
I don’t think any doctor would may any public announcements as to the condition or any medical information regarding their patients. HIPAA Privacy Rule.
It sounds so scary. Hope he get well soon.
I hope he recovers soon! 🙂
So, he is recovery. He can not eat solid foods. He is talking. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

What a scary way to start the new year for Bobby! His wife must have freaked out to see him slumped over like that.
