rooster59 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Rescue officials struggle for hours to bring a 150-kg woman to hospital Rescue workers and officials of Kluaynamthai hospital on Friday (Dec 1) took several hours to move a 150-kg woman out of her shack in Klong Toey community and brought her to the hospital for medical treatment. The patient, Ms Rattanaporn Polthep, 25, was bed-ridden, sick and could not walk. Her family then sought help from Kluaynamthai hospital for fear that the wounds on her back might get worse because she could hardly move. Because of her heavy weight and the door of the shack is too small, the rescue workers had to cut open one of the walls which is made of gypsum board to get her out.

noahvail Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 41% of callouts were for drug overdose/abuse. 36% were for recurrant medical conditions/hospitalizations. Obesity isn’t even listed as a category (from my son, the EMS dispatcher/paramedic). If you have any references to prove your statement, kindly post them.

Jeremy50 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Why the big crowd with their cameras and rubber necks? Not really an issue of the lady and her obesity, but one of a lack of empathy from her fellow humans. I suppose they'll all have a good laugh about it on the bus on the way home.

OmarZaid Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 When an ER doc, years ago, I refused to jeopardize my ER staff trying to mobilize these folks and made it very clear to them. If they didn't have hardy family folk to lift 'em, I left them where they lie and did my best to help them with meds. If they needed hospitalization, I left it to internal medical staff to deal with the problem as they saw fit. Unsympathetic to the limit of reason . . .

It's called triage and my nursing staff were very grateful -- always a smile when I came on duty because they knew I considered their welfare first. Rule one: take care of your self and your staff so you can be of maximum service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the point thicky, farang women are getting heavier and heavier and becoming land whales so not surprising if it had turned out to be a farang So why didn't you make that point in your original post, thicky, instead of a thinly veiled (wrong) assumption that it must be a farang. And I fail to see the relevance of your comment re gypsum board, or am I being a "thicky" also? Edited December 2, 2017 by sambum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
