Popular Post webfact Posted February 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2022 Sanook Thai Caption: She's NOT a nurse The director of Banglamung Hospital in Pattaya told the media that the woman who stole a dying man's ATM card then helped herself to 4,500 baht of his cash at a cash machine is not a nurse. Dr Wasan Kaewwee said the relatives of the victim were probably confused about different jobs in hospitals. He said that the thief was in fact a person who looks after sick patients. Picture: Sanook In Thai this is a "phu duu lae khon khai" not a "nang phayaban". Anyway, the head of section was going to repay the family for their loss and Dr Wasan had set up a disciplinary committee., reported Sanook. The thief could lose their job as well as face criminal prosecution. There would also be a review of how patient's possessions are kept. He said that people should not bring valuables to hospitals. The man who died was fine when he came into the hospital with Covid but later developed bad symptoms and was in ICU.

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted February 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2022 Police should prosecute regardless, theft is theft, oh wait a minute, let's get the police to negotiate with all parties, hospital to pay compensation, worker to repay hospital and then it's back to normal, brilliant Thailand. 6 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people write their pin number on the card or the card holder, not sure whether the hospital looking for a way to absolve themselves from guilt saying she wasn't a nurse, but the fact that a person who was there to look after the sic and dying with the permission and knowledge of the hospital did the unthinkable is indisputable... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzian Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 This happens far more often than one might imagine. In his last year my father wrote himself a close string of $100 checks for petty cash which one of his 3 or 4 caregivers had to have been taking to the bank, but it was far more in a short time than his needs normally called for. But whoever was prompting him didn't have to sign at any point, and they were surely all in on it. Luckily they didn't realize how well off he was, and at most it was $2000, probably less. It was a small town and I knew they would all stick together, so I wrote it off in my mind. Just assume it is going to happen if there is any way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 So it was just a person that looks after patients? So in Thailand any type of person can be hired to look after patients in a hospital? Not even have an official job title , just a person? I’m guessing the person had a medical reason to be there, and not housekeeping. And it would be difficult not to bring valuables to a hospital for an unplanned visit or stay in an emergency situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grain Posted February 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2022 "The thief could lose their job as well as face criminal prosecution" Really? A hospital employee steals a patient's ATM card and empties their bank account, and for doing this crime they "could" lose their job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could lose her job? Wow. Such a hardship imposed upon a criminal. And she might even face criminal prosecution? Say it ain't so. oh, it's so. i dated a university lecturer, noticed that her pin number was 9999, told her to change it. she didn;t and a couple of months later her account was emptied, around 80K. i told her it would be someone she knew as they would have seen her using her card and remembered her number, i even identified an individual. police investigation later, sure enough it was the friend i suspected. friend repayed the money, eventually, but was not prosecuted and did not lose her job. it's just how it is here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be worth more coverage than this whole hoopla over 4,500 baht Not defending the woman-yes it was wrong to steal, sack her and move on-but the fact a man was fine when he entered hospital and ended up in icu is kind of worrying.
