webfact Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 A Thai mother accused a teacher at a school in the central province of Pathum Thani of ignoring her six year old son who was having a seizure, leading to the boy’s death. The mother shared a video of her son shaking uncontrollably on Facebook with a caption complaining about the teacher who took a video of the sick boy. The caption read… “My son was shaking and struggling. His mouth turned darker but the teacher said he was fine and asked him to lie still instead of sending him to the hospital or providing first aid. The teacher chose to record this video and waited for me. “My son had already died. He must have suffered before he died. He had a heart attack and died at school. He could be alive now if the teacher sent him to the hospital.” The mother told Channel 7 that her son went to school without any symptoms that morning. The teacher called her in the afternoon and said her son was foaming at the mouth and his hands and feet were darkening. The mother said she rushed to the school and found her son unconscious. She immediately took him to the hospital but he died on the way. The doctor gave him CPR and tried to bring him back to life but it failed. 5,000 baht compensation According to the mother, her son had a headache and the teacher gave him a paracetamol tablet. The boy then had a seizure, as seen in the video but the teacher did not take him to the hospital. It took her about 30 minutes to get to the school but she was unable to help her son in time. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook/ เริ่มมม ใหม่ Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

ikke1959 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 RIP to the boy... lives in Thailand are priceless..5k compensation. Sadly enough it is not a complete story, a teacher is not a medic and we don't know what really happened. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Skipalongcassidy Posted February 15 Popular Post Share Posted February 15 For the confused person... did the boy have a history of seizers? When was the last time that the boy was checked by a doctor? Was his teacher aware of special needs? You know, just the basics... if this was a one off then the teacher should be instructed on proper medical emergency procedures... if there is a history... then shame on the mother for not informing the school. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's not as uncommon as you think. Out of the millions of children across Thailand, I'm sure there are a few that die of a heart attack suddenly. I am a teacher, and from my experience, strokes, heart problems, other things happen out of the blue. I've experienced a couple of deaths of children. Although, I don't know of any teacher that wouldn't call an ambulance in that situation; truly negligent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfunster Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 52 minutes ago, sheldoncollier said: Elaborate please. You probably don't want him too. I expect he is referencing some conspiracy theory or another. More likely a previously undiagnosed congenital or acute medical condition, a gradual darkening of skin in peripheral areas (hands/feet) would point to an onset of a pulmonary circulation issue of some kind. Anyway, RIP little man, too soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSam Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) A 6 year does not die of a heart attack, nor does a heart attack cause seizures. I suspect an epilectic seizure, where he possibly swallowed his tongue, resulting in asphyxiation causing death. Asphyxiation would cause the lips to turn blue. Easily prevented, with the most basic of life saving knowledge! And yes, I do have some paramedic background.

I have a paramedic background as well and what you are saying is nonsense, a heart attack can happen at any age, and you are not a doctor. Should also question wether this boy had multiple covid shots before. Edited February 15 by ChaiyaTH 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john donson Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 no school nurse? so a teacher also have to be a guard of the school and now EMS but why not teach teachers some basic health stuff like mouth to mouth ... I guess no budget rip boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmj Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The teacher had time to video it, so she could have tried to help him instead or call for help. Whether that would have saved him or not at least they could have tried. Sad. RIP young fella. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
