Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2018 Police hero helps save Russian tourist in Pattaya beach drama A Pattaya police lieutenant swung into action to help save the life of a Russian tourist who got into difficulty while swimming. Dmitrii Rybin, 50, had been dragged from the sea and was unconscious and receiving CPR from a member of the public when Pol Lt Woraphan Kaewmorakot arrived on the scene opposite the end of Soi 13/1. He took over CPR duties on the unconscious tourist until the ambulance arrived to rush him to Pattaya Memorial. The tourist is out of danger and recovering in hospital, reported Sophon Cable TV on Facebook. Woraphan who works out of Pattaya police station said he heard there was trouble over the radio and quickly headed to the scene on his motorcycle. He was glad to help in the name of Rama 9 and the present king. He said it was the second time he was able to use his CPR training.

Popular Post HLover Posted March 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wonder who was initially doing the life saving CPR before the hero arrived? Probably a pesky farang, no need to mention him in the article. 18 1 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 And where was the lifeguard or don't they have them at pattaya beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The Lifeguards "office" at the bottom of Soi 6 is usually manned by people who seem to be otherwise occupied and I don't ever see them on patrol. There are people permanently based along the beach who could and should be trained to do CPR: the massage ladies. Isn't CPR a similar skill to massage? Now that most of them are decked out in dayglo yellow jackets, they are easy to locate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long ago there was a plan to have defibrillator paddles available in numerous places in touristy areas about Pattaya so that if someone suffered a heart stoppage, s/he could be resuscitated by any passerby who had watched an episode of ER and who fantasized himself to be a hero-in-waiting. Thankfully that idea fizzled out or numerous inebriated tourists passed out on the beach or fallen off a bar stool would travel back home with arrhythmia as a souvenir of their holiday in Thailand.

You would think he would have had to kneel in the sand huh May I add to your observation of "not even sand on his clothes". It appears that before jumping into rescue mode he had time to neatly roll up his trouser bottoms. I am impressed with the trouser bottom creases, worthy of a police officer photo shoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisinth Posted March 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2018 Again I find it hard to read the number of posters who are being negative here just because this guys life was helped being saved by a Thai policeman. At the end of the day a persons life was saved, that is what is important. And just to add, it would be interesting to see how many of the negative posters know how to administor CPR correctly in the number of compressions and assisted inhalations to use. It isn't just a matter of pushing anywhere on a victim's chest and hope for the best. The policeman didn't write the article, he shouldn't be blamed for how he was put across. Kudos to all that were involved in saving a life....... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad you said what I was thinking. These keyboard warriors jumping in to bash someone who did his job, or even over and above the job as he could have ignored the situation. I think he has trained in CPR and put that training to good use helping to save a tourist who was in need. Even if he does not do it perfectly the fact remains he did it to save a life. I read the quotes of 'bone dry' 'no sand' etc etc. Without proper detail then leave this kind of comment where they belong, locked away in that very small space the warriors refer to as an intelligent mind. (named and shamed Hlover, Lovelomsak, JSixpack although they will feel no shame as they are sanctimonious dullards) Look at the picture - no sand on his uniform, not in the water yet delivering what he feels is life-saving CPR, i hope this cop is around if I ever get into trouble in the ocean.
