"Lady boy doctor" tells tourist: Come back when you're dying! Google the meaning of ER"

Featured Replies

Way way too many go to the ER here for even a runny nose.

Especially Thais.

I agree with the Doctor on this.

    sounds fair to me the doc probably seen enough carnage from road accidents   who goes to ER with an ear ache? pussy

  • The DR was right.. ear problem make an appointment go to a clinic.. not an ER. That is not what an ER is for.

  • its not an emergency

I think everyone should cut the Katoy's sack. No, I mean cut him some slack. Wait, cut her some slack. Yes, right. That.

 

But seriously, reading between the lines, since the doctor was gone when the press called, it was probably toward the end of his shift when the incident occurred. Do doctor's in ER's in public hospitals in Thailand pull 12 and 16 hour shifts like interns in the US?

 

Since we only have one side of the story, there's no telling how much attitude was shown before the doctor made his comment. Since it clearly wasn't an emergency, they may have had to wait for a while and been visibly impatient. My suspicion is that there was some considerable attitude displayed before the doctor said anything.

 

Or perhaps something was lost in the translation of tenses from Thai. "Come back when you've died" and "Come back when you're dying" are a bit different, in English.

The doctor is right 

And if that's was Banglamung hospital they will not make money off him 

But if that's was Bangkok or Pattaya hospital so I don't understand why they not just do it and change him for the ER

But why he not just go clinic??

not just interns, attending shifts vary from 8, 12, 16, or 24 or more hours depending on volume. Some very rural places havec24 hour shifts cause may just get 8 -12 patients.

 

Interns are limited to 12 and they must supervised.

The "new swedes" (and their entourage) in Sweden frequently fill up our ER's for everything from common colds to sore elbows then they get aggressive when the doctors prioritize actually injured people and start fighting. This is why all ER's have security guards these days. 

 

You're NOT supposed to go there for trivial shit. The ladyboy doctor was right though she could use some people skills. 

This doctor has clearly had training in the private health sector...probably the usa or maybe a stint in harley street

Oh, I thought the sign said, "EAR", hahaha...
