Paramedic Team Caught on Video Stealing from Accident Victim's vehicle

[webfact]

 

A shocking incident involving a municipal paramedic team in Samut Prakan province has been captured on video, revealing their inappropriate actions at an accident scene. The footage shows a member of the paramedic team helping an injured individual while discreetly taking two packs of crab sticks from the victim's motorcycle. 

 

On May 24th, a concerned citizen alerted the media about a Facebook user who live-streamed an accident that took place at a Shell gas station on Bangna-Trat Road, Exit 6, in Samut Prakan province. Subsequently, it was discovered that the individual responsible for the live stream was a member of the municipal paramedic team from the same province, reported Daily News.

 

The video captured the paramedic obstructing an ambulance's path while compassionate bystanders assisted in moving the injured person's belongings from the motorcycle to the roadside. In the footage, the paramedic can be heard asking a colleague, "Do you want some?" before taking the crab stick packages from the injured individual and placing them on the car seat. Another female paramedic is heard saying, "Take another pack." The person who recorded the video claimed that it provided sufficient evidence of wrongdoing.

 

 

Witnesses report that the incident occurred on March 21st. Upon realizing the impropriety, the witness recorded the video and reported it to the paramedic team's superior. However, no action was taken even after a significant amount of time had passed.

 

When questioned, the superior dismissed the incident as a minor issue. As a result, the witness decided to hand over the video to the media in hopes of raising awareness about the behavior of this particular paramedic team.

 

 

Such actions are far from minor and contradict the principles of paramedics, who are expected to prioritize assisting the injured rather than stealing from them. This incident tarnishes the reputation of dedicated professionals in the paramedic field.

 

Most recently, a news reporter spoke with Mr. Sarawut Anuson, the delivery personnel who was the victim of the accident, to hear about his firsthand experience. He explained that on that day, he was driving from the office to deliver goods in the Bangplee area.

 

Upon arriving at the accident scene, his motorcycle collided with a taxi, resulting in injuries. Shortly after, the municipal paramedic team arrived, but instead of offering assistance, they began filming and inquired about his injuries. They provided no help whatsoever.

 

 

When Mr. Sarawut later watched the video clip, he felt deeply disturbed by the actions of this particular paramedic team. Rather than coming to his aid following the accident, they took his belongings.

 

After the incident, he went to the hospital, while his motorcycle and other belongings were taken away by factory personnel. He was unaware of the missing items until he saw the video. Although he does not plan to file a complaint, he wishes to caution others to be vigilant with their belongings during such emergencies.

A few years ago in Pattaya the rescue team attended a deceased farangs condo and in the pics you could plainly see a box of Leo cans.

Pan over to them loading the corpse into the back of the truck and "voila" there was the box of Leo.

Humorous I suppose as he won't need it.

As you lie dying in the middle of the road you should make sure your wallet and credit cards are safely secured under your bottom.

is this some of that rich and deep culture i was told i had to respect the other day ? 

 

i could not even begin to imagine this happening at home. look at the stark difference on how ambulances are treated here vs back home. 

 

as i said before the road of cars splits like the red sea back home and is expected when ambulances approach. here you got to worry about getting jacked while you are laying on the road dying. 

 

shame to all persons involved with this.

If you feel this way about Thailand and how can those type of thoughts not lower your well-being? Why wouldn't you move to a more comfortable country?

If you're talking about the US, the "jacking" will occur when you get your bill for the ambulance and the trip to the emergency room.

Unsurprising is it the whole county is moving sideways and from top to bottom ????

you are right it breaks my heart every time i see cars here NOT doing something so simple as to move for an ambulance.

I doubt there is a more morally bankrupt culture than you find so often in Thailand. This is just one example. Another is, when a friend of mine died in Phuket, within a couple of hours the human vultures descended and striped his house bare, including of the bed he died on, and for good measure they stole his SUV too. Scum.
