Popular Post Suradit69 Posted November 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) 13 hours ago, YetAnother said: the patient incorrectly assumed her case was not an emergency and 'could wait'; she was not a professional and the nurses (note, not doctors) should have overridden her decision That sounds like you're advocating that the hospital hold the woman against her will. If she was conscious, rational and an adult, she should have been advised that she needed immediate treatment, but I doubt the hospital could legally have "overridden her decision." A hospital can't kidnap someone who may be doing something that they deem to be stupid. Hard to make any definite decision regarding her understanding of her condition or of her mental state, but if she was insisting on going to another hospital it seems that was her choice. If they had held her and forced unwanted treatment on her and she died, what would everyone say then?

phetpeter Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think there is a legal care of duty, once the injured party is in their care and has started the treatment, cleaning, and bandage. The patent has to sign a release, and the nurse cannot do that without a doctors clearance and not make a decision concerning say.."Acid in the face attack" or other physical attacks without contacting the police.

Wake Up Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The first taxi driver saw the need to take her to the nearest hospital instead of the other hospital where she had a gold card. She must have been hurt badly and she should have been treated and stabilized at the first hospital. RIP and feel for the little girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that wasn't the case. even the best most highly trained and experienced cannot see the future thus make the assessment using the information at hand. likely an otherwise healthy young female with normal vital signs, no acute distress except for complaints related to the skin burns akin to first degree sunburn and apparently doused with water already without patient condition deteriorating. sounds like this would have been a "treat and release from er" case. again the patient has the absolute right to leave at any point whether seen by nurse and or doctor. it would be extremely unusual for a 38 y/o with limited body surface acid burns doused with water already to die from same alone. did she breathe aerosolized acid?? she would have complained about pharyngeal pain, throat pain, shortness of breath. the patients being worked up for life threatening problems (heart attack, stroke, blood clot) would receive the full lecture warning designed to scare them enough so they decide to stay, or if foolish enough still leave.

BANGKOK — The husband accused of fatally attacking his wife with acid has been arrested, while the hospital under fire for refusing to treat her denies she was in an emergency condition when they turned her away. Police arrested Kumtun Singnad on suspicion of murder Sunday night in Nakhon Sawan province, where he fled after allegedly killing his wife Chorlada Tarawan, 38, by splashing her face with acid.

I'm certainly no expert on the subject but the extract below is a medical explanation of what can happen and where it is expected to be seen: Secondary shock is often associated with heat stroke, crushing injuries, heart attack (myocardial infarction), poisoning, fulminating infections, burns, and other life-threatening conditions. The pathologic characteristics of this state reflect changes in the capillaries, which become dilated and engorged with blood. This may develop over time and is characterized by weakness, restlessness, low body temperature, low blood pressure, cold sweat, reduced urinary output and progressive decrease in blood pressure that may lead to death unless appropriate treatment is provided. https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=11224 Edited November 12, 2018 by chrisinth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both versions appear plausible. It is possible that the shock of this had a big part in her death. If true then the hospital should have kept her for surveillance or at least sent her in an ambulance under medical supervision. A lot of ducking and diving going on here, and tragic that an acid attack happens in LOS, normally native to other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Something wrong somewhere.............how can an acid attack to the face be treated like a heat burn. Senior registrar & Police should of been called by the first hospital and transfer by ambulance arranged. Guys that throw acid are the worst.
