Mongkut Wattana hospital to reject COVID patients “dumped” on the doorstep

Maj-Gen Rianthong Nanna, Director of Bangkok’s Mongkut Wattana Hospital

 

The director of Bangkok’s Mongkut Wattana Hospital has issued a stern warning to those who attempt to jump the admissions queue by dumping COVID-19 infected people at the hospital without advance coordination, in hope of being admitted, saying he means business and will not tolerate such a practice.

 

In the wake of the surge in patients needing admission for medical treatment and the acute shortage of hospital beds, Maj-Gen Rianthong Nanna explained in his Facebook post today about the need to enforce order in the management of hospital beds and to prioritise of patients, to prevent chaos over hospital beds among the sick and their relatives.

 

He said that, if the Mongkut Wattana Hospital, and its affiliated Palang Paendin field hospital, have to admit all COVID-19 patients, including those who arrive at the hospitals without advance notification or arrangement demanding immediate admission, it would be very unfair to other patients who are on the waiting list.

Why is there a queue for a hospital bed? Is this possibly a result of not allocating vaccines to those that will get very sick (old etc) and instead focusing on other areas?

There is a story on another forum of people dumping an elderly man with covid at a nearby Wat, rather like they do with unwanted dogs!

I think I can see the message in here : Complete the paperwork or die trying.

 

Never forget - the paperwork is more important than your life.

Well, according to their Website, it's a "General hospital in Bangkok"

Worth googling his name, the paper that can't be mentioned describes him as an "ultra-royalist".

Yes, the infected should just quietly stay at home and die in peace.  It is not the general's fault that there are not enough hospital beds.  It is the patients fault due to reckless behavior that resulted in infection!
