Police: Viral Clip of Patient Chasing Nurse Caused by Loose Bed Rail

A viral video initially sent shockwaves through social media, showing a psychiatric patient apparently running amok with a metal bed bar and chasing nurses. However, officials have confirmed that no one was injured in the incident, which unfolded due to a malfunction with a bed restraint.

 

The incident took place on 18th November 2024 at a hospital in Мahasarakham Province, Thailand. According to the Kosum Phisai Police Station, the uproar began when the metal bar from a hospital bed came loose, causing the patient to become agitated and alarming hospital staff. Fortunately, the situation was quickly brought under control without any harm to personnel.

 

The clip, shared on TikTok by @say8035, depicted scenes of panic as nurses hurriedly evacuated a room with a shirtless patient, clad in blue hospital trousers, grasping a bed bar and giving chase. The footage, lasting 26 seconds, prompted numerous comments and concerns about the safety of nursing professionals.

 

In further commentary on her post, the uploader explained that the patient was brought to the hospital by family members for treatment after suffering an intense drug-induced episode. Typically, patients exhibiting such behaviour are restrained by both hands to prevent outbreaks of violence.


However, in this instance, the patient's mother requested her son be restrained by only one hand out of compassion. This leniency inadvertently led to the restraint being compromised, allowing the patient to detangle the bar and escalate the situation. A swift response from hospital staff and police ensured no injuries occurred, and the patient was restrained.

 

On 27th November, local journalists were informed by officers at the Kosum Phisai Police Station that the patient, a 22-year-old man referred to as "Mr. A," had a history of psychiatric issues exacerbated by drug use.

 

Living with his grandmother, he was taken by police to the hospital at his parents’ request for assessment. During his stay, to prevent any escape attempts, one hand was bound to the bed as a precaution.

 

The patient, however, managed to unfasten the metal bed bar and became agitated, though no harm was done to others. Police were quickly notified and secured "Mr. A" before transferring him to Thanyarak Hospital in Khon Kaen for further psychiatric evaluation and treatment, reported Daily News.

Mother knows best.... unless she's blind as in this case.
