Picture text: Just after taking a dead patient away, this is what nurses found

 

Siam Rath reported on a video going viral on TikTok that they said really made the hair on the back of your neck stand to attention.

 

It was posted by a nurse.

 

It showed an empty bed from which a deceased patient had just been removed. Yet the vital signs monitor was still on.

 

The poster admitted that the machine was probably malfunctioning.

 

But they called the number that was displaying - 45 - a "laek suay" - meaning that it was nice and may herald a lottery win. 

 

Netizens commented in droves with many suggesting the machine be checked while others planned to play 45 in the next lottery draw. 

 

That is expected to take place at the end of next week.

So the question is: how long had he been dead before someone checked him not just the monitor? If the monitor had been calibrated before use and found out to be malfunctioning may be he would be still alive now. This was a very serious incident and should be investigated thoroughly, but I doubt that will happen in Thailand.

The heartbeat waveform is completely missing.  It appears that the number may be simply the oxygen monitor--and, like a fish out of water, there just might still be some oxygen exposed to the sensor from the room atmosphere.   On a living person, that oxygen should usually be over 90, not 45 as in the display.  Below about 45, a person won't live for very long.

Some of the ways these people choose lottery numbers.  

This so called nurse is not too professional.  Posting a video like that picking lottery numbers

Yes, and imagine the person carted off to the morgue who was alive and died during autopsy !

or it could be a loose wire...Buddha knows.

I thought it was going to be about that monitor lizard with the numbers on its back that let me down a couple of months ago.

Unlucky for the now deceased patient.
