Vet praised for saving newborn’s life

By The Nation

 

 

Thai social media users were full of praise on Monday for a Thai veterinarian who saved the life of a baby boy. The infant was born to a foreign migrant worker on Sunday evening in Bangkok's Taling Chan district.
 

Veterinarian Waree “Mor Mon Pet Angel” Limrungsukho was notified that the woman was giving birth on the roadside not far from her clinic after failing to get a taxi to take her to hospital. Waree rushed to help the woman and her newborn, who was not breathing and turning blue.

 

She carried the baby with the placenta still attached to her clinic and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, using a clinical tool to suck out the liquid from the baby’s respiratory tract and giving him oxygen until he turned pink, could breathe on his own and gave a loud cry. The baby and mother were then rushed to a nearby hospital.

 

The incident was captured on a phone camera in the form of two video clips and shared by a Thai Facebook user with the screen name “Min K Wg” who witnessed the incident while taking her dog to Waree’s clinic.

 

Within 14 hours of the post being uploaded, it had received 170,000 “likes” reaction, 66 comments and been shared by 127,882 others.

 

A Facebook user with the screen-name Kanpirom Kanesom Numtal commented: “Thank you to the beautiful doctor for helping the baby,” while Pon Chareonto said: (It’s) so amazing. I kept my fingers crossed (that the baby would survive while watching the clips). Good job, doctor!" Another Facebook user with the screen-name Jeab Mattana said: “Was keeping my fingers crossed watching the clips. The doctor is so beautiful and kind - unlike the taxis.”

What an excellent result. A good news item indeed

[bannork]

Those cries from the baby must have been the sweetest sound the parents have ever heard. May those taxi drivers who refused to take the mother to hospital be stuck in a 30 kilometre traffic jam on Sukhumvit road for ever.

It sounds as if the veterinarian missed the birth itself. Could be lucky she did. She may have lassoed the baby's feet to pull him clear of the birth canal.

The doctor deserves enormous praise.  She is a true humanitarian and has brought tremendous amount of honor to her profession. 

 

We have a woman vet Thailand.  She too was marvelous.  Most vets we dealt with were good in Thailand.

This same doctor cuts the testicles off cats????

Wish more moments were like this in Thailand.  Most of the time all I read is death, vindictive reprisal, crime, Motorcycle deaths 24/7, foreigner suicides, etc....

Oh really?

 

[dotpoom]

Absolutely great story....but....is it not a

perfectly normal action to take for most people with the same ability.

  IMO...it would have been a bigger story had the Vet done nothing to help.

  Thankfully, most people in today's world have a "natural" instinct to want to help others in need....rather than just ignore them.

In some countries, the veterinarian would have been too afraid of a lawsuit to take proper action.

The trick with two bricks is keeping your thumbs out of the way, then it's painful !

[nausea]

I remember reading somewhere that a vet can treat people but a doctor can't treat animals.

To be fair, it doesn't say that any taxi drivers refused to take her to the hospital just that she failed to get a taxi.

Benefit of the doubt.

Name a few, if it was not nonsense

Probably true in a lot of Western countries.

Nothing to do with vets and babies but an example of why the West can be so boring.

1. On a bus to Cornwall 2 weeks ago, the driver told a passenger with a hot drink to dispose of it at once as he could be sued if it spilled on the passenger.

2. Approaching the bus stop with a suitcase on wheels and a shoulder bag, the bus began to pull away but stopped after a council worker saw me and shouted at the driver to stop. The bus driver then get a bollocking from an official on the bus about how he wasn't insured to stop for me after the bus stop (3 metres), and he must never do that again.

The West can be so dull.

There's plenty of good stories but they may not make the news. I was waiting at a pier for the express river boat to Nonthaburi a few days ago and an ageing Westerner, unable to step one leg forward without considerable effort, it took him perhaps 10 seconds for one small step, slowly made his way to the pier.

The staff could have told him it was too dangerous to take the boat as both the pier and the boat rock to and fro in those few seconds that the rope of the boat is fastened to the bulkhead.

But they didn't. They took him down the gangway and held on to his waist as he struggled onto the boat.

And it was the same at Nonthaburi.

The OP did not say that any taxi drivers "refused" to take her, it just said that she failed to get a taxi.  Perhaps there were no taxis available?

[Isaanbiker]

Watching the real movie shows that she's indeed a vet and the baby had a lot of Angels. Congratulations, Doc!!!!

Cats are VERMIN 

[Galactus]

they should find that taxis refused to take her to the hospital!

and fine them hard as if baby died, it is their responsibility too.

i mean, it is an heartless act for not accepting a mother who is about to give a birth just bc the taxi will get dirty!
