The Thai headline says, “Stole hospital’s X-ray machine.” Photo: Amarin TV TNR Staff A THIEF who pretended to be a patient stole an X-ray machine from a hospital in Krabi province which is now in serious trouble as doctors there do not have this essential equipment in treating their patients, Amarin TV said this afternoon (May 23). Dr. Natthaphong Du-ngam, director of Plai Phraya Hospital Krabi, posted a message on his personal Facebook page asking people to help search for clues in tracking down this unscrupulous thief. He related that the thief, a masked man of around 30-40 years of age, came to the hospital at approximately 7 p.m. last evening wearing a large backpack on his chest and pretended to be sick and in need of medical treatment.

Popular Post RandiRona Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 You really cant blame him, they charge arms and legs for medical services. Thieves have decided to do it themselves!!

Popular Post zib Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's an x-ray machine for ants? It's not something you just put in your backpack and walk away. More like put in the back of a truck. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
