A Thai nurse faced verbal threats and ridicule from a patient, sharing her concerns about the lack of support from her superiors on social media. However, a Nursing Council member recommended reporting the incident to authorities and reassessing her work environment.

 

In a viral post, the nurse shared her frustration about receiving verbal abuse from a male patient. She expressed concern about her profession’s lack of protection for healthcare workers, which led to many resigning from their positions. The nurse mentioned that she had endured previous incidents, but this time felt unbearable.

 

Responding to friends’ supportive comments, she said that leaving the job is her first choice as she cannot fight against power and money. The patient in question is reportedly a former candidate for the House of Representatives, adding to the Thai nurse’s stress.

While I respect all healthcare workers, I too could be accused of verbal abuse to a nurse, I was in hospital with TB, and could barely sleep at night, but Every morning at 5.15am this nurse would burst into the room and shout at the top of her voice GOOD MORNING ! after a few days of this I lost it and told her in no uncertain terms to stop it ! I never saw that nurse again and wasn't woken at that stupid time for no  reason. :jap:

IMO no matter manager/boss should have their employees back…. if the employee is out of line 

discuss it internally… and deal with it however way it goes…
