"I'm not a hero" says modest vet who helped save life of baby girl

TNA MCOT caught up with the vet who helped save the life of a premature baby born at a Bangkok construction site. 

 

The lady at the center of the drama that played out on Thai social media is Dr Mon otherwise known as 34 year old Waree Limrungsukho who has a veterinary clinic in Chim Plee Soi 6/1 in Taling Chan. 

 

She said that on Sunday at 7 pm someone she knew came rushing into the clinic as she was treating a dog. 

 

She left the pooch and went to a construction site behind her clinic where locals had helped deliver a baby girl. 

 

But the child was not breathing and not crying. She used her finger to try and clear her airways. 

 

The child had no vital signs. 

 

She asked permission of the mother - a lady from Myanmar - and took the baby back to the clinic massaging her heart as she ran. 

 

 

There on the vet's operating table she used a device to help clear the mouth and nose and detected vital signs for the first time as medics arrived and took the child to Sirirat Hospital.

 

Dr Mon said she is not a hero - the heroes are the ones who helped deliver the baby and who thought to alert her and get help at the clinic. 

 

She was very happy to hear that the baby is now fine. She said her phone had not stopped ringing with requests for interviews from the media. 

 

Father Mong Sor - also from Myanmar - said his wife suddenly went into labor after only 7 months of pregnancy taking everyone by surprise. 

 

He has decided to name the baby "Nong Neung" - as the child was born outside house number one. 

 

He thanked Dr Mon for her help and all the other Thais who had helped too. 

 

He said he had yet to see his daughter's face - he was not legally married to the mother and was waiting until they came out of hospital to see Neung for the first time.

Have we become so selfish and self absorbed that every kind action someone dose becomes to be a 'hero'? are we so bad that a simple act of humanity immediately is hailed as a heroism act? what happen to just going thing because it's need to be done and now, without thinking what's in it for me?...

It's sad that the majority of cheap laborers from the neighboring countries are treated like animals, while their Thai bosses and their henchmen supervisors are just sitting there doing nothing in a situation like this.

 

Thumbs up to that Vet doctor for showing such flexibility apart from her actual job.

 Agreed- however the question is how many agree with us? Apathy  is always an excuse for not having the balls to speak up. Even if it never changes, at least you can say that you spoke up.

True, she is not the only hero, but she did save the child's life.

Whatever are you talking about ?

Those who assisted the delivery included/were Thais !

Dr Mon is a THAI !

 

 Did you even read the article ? It says of the  babies father  -

"He thanked Dr Mon for her help and all the other Thais who had helped too. "

 

Jesus...

lots of parallels between caring for babies and veterinary medicine

Well I think she did a pretty good thing and I think what you appear to allege was far from her thoughts at the time. 

More of a hero than some overpaid football players or so called national treasures in some countries.

Be sure to refuse emergency aid if you ever need it...... You wouldn't want to risk aiding and abetting a potential hero.

A very noble and humble thing to say... however her skills & quick actions probably went a long way to saving the babies life or in the least prevented complications setting in.. 

She can except being a hero for the day !

Kudos to the vet who went above and beyond the call of duty and took control of the situation and probably saved this baby's life. Need more like her.
