Danish man stabs himself with medical knife in Bangkok hospital

[webfact]

A Danish man today wreaked havoc in a central Bangkok hospital, leaving police scrambling to contain the chaos. The bizarre incident unfolded at 4.45am, today, October 7, at Chulalongkorn Hospital in Pathumwan, Bangkok, when a 40 year old foreigner erupted into a frenzy in the emergency room.

 

The man, clearly agitated, seized a medical knife and dashed towards Gate A2, making his way to the OPR building’s food zone. In a shocking turn, he slashed his arms and neck, causing severe injuries and significant blood loss.

 

Quick-thinking police officers, stationed at Gate A1, promptly subdued him, allowing medical staff to deliver critical emergency care.

 

This wasn’t the first time the troubled Dane had caused a stir. The night before, at 7.03pm, Thung Maha Mek Police Station officers reported a foreigner with a severe bleeding wound in Soi Suan Phlu 8, Sathorn.

The man, they discovered, had injured his right thigh after clambering over and tumbling from a fence in a nearby village. Witnesses watched as he wandered from Soi Suan Phlu 8 to Soi Suan Phlu 6, refusing all attempts of assistance.

 

Despite the arrival of an emergency vehicle, the determined Dane declined aid, choosing instead to head to Suan Phlu Market. A second emergency attempt to transport him to the hospital was again rebuffed.

 

At around 10pm, a quick-thinking German passerby managed to engage the distressed man in conversation, ultimately persuading him to hop into a taxi bound for the hospital, KhaoSod.

 

But the drama didn’t end there. By 12.19 am, police received frantic reports of cries for help emanating from the rear of the market, just opposite Soi Suan Phlu 8. There, officers found the same Danish national perilously climbing on a nearby rooftop. With patience and care, officers coaxed him down, administered initial first aid, and finally whisked him off to the hospital.

That’s what happens when they go for quantity over quality.

This policy of letting people in from these countries needs to be reigned in.

"These countries"? You mean western countries? In other words, you're saying Indians, Chinese and Africans are better?

To which countries do you refer....Denmark? 

From where do you originate please Malcom?

[OneMoreFarang]

Let him bleed and die. Problem solved.

This man is obviously suffering from a bout of insanity, and my guess is that he didn't have much control of his mental facilities, but if you're going to try to kill yourself there are far better ways to do it, and those include techniques where many people are not traumatized by your actions.

Another case of the dreadful thai weed!

 I see, so you want Thailand to ban all Danish tourists?

 

Great idea!

Sure, there is a few, but I guess you must draw the line somewhere. That will all be judged out of individual preferences.

Send him home on the next flight out, with a warning to the crew.... no cutlery.

[save the frogs]

not much comments which display empathy for a man who clearly is in need of help

 

 

[proton]

Genuine dane or just a newly arrived passport holder, what is his name?

[john donson]

no name in the article. Was it something like abdul muhammed rakim, you know, a typical danish name or something more viking sounding.... lol

[brianthainess]

Maybe it was meeting a hospital cleaner from OZ that sent him over the edge...........

Empathy is about as common as rocking horse schitt in the comments' sections these days.

Denmark has a lower crime rate than many European countries.

I am sure that would correspond with Danish tourists visiting Thailand.

[steven100]

He's not the full Danish croissant that's for sure .... 

maybe his almonds are jumbled inside once more  ....

 

send him to ward A1 you see  ...

and chain him to the coconut tree ... 

 

he's a nutter from Demark ...

we all know that ...

 

put him on the next plane that's out ...

and just feed him sometimes the odd kit kat ...

Should each person coming to Thailand get a physch test first or what do you suggest?

Danish man stabs himself with medical knife?

 

A surgical blade is meant to save life, not to take it.

But at least, he didn't harm anyone else.

He is only liable for the cost of own subsequent treatment  and 

clean-up of the mess he made...
