A Thai doctor faces allegations after a three-year-old Laotian boy sustained severe burns from hot water at a clinic in Chon Buri's Bo Win district. The incident occurred on October 24, when the child's parents sought treatment for their son's high fever at the clinic. The boy’s grandfather initially took him to the clinic, where it is claimed a medical procedure went awry, involving the doctor allegedly pouring boiling water onto the child.

 

The treatment was intended to address a seizure the boy experienced after receiving an injection. The physician reportedly instructed his assistant to use a towel and pour boiling water over it, which led to severe burns. The doctor attempted a third such application, but was stopped by the grandfather; the child then regained consciousness in pain, prompting immediate ointment treatment and gauze application.

 

Despite the child's severe condition, the medical staff advised recovery at home rather than seeking hospital care. Amid public outcry and legal proceedings announced by the family with help from the nonprofit Be One, the doctor defended the procedure as necessary for survival, stating it was the only way to save the boy. However, accusations arose from the doctor's wife, alleging that the Laotian family fabricated the story for financial gain, which the family denied.

 

Current developments include the clinic remaining closed following widespread media coverage and public attention. Authorities have become involved, with police and a lawyer inspecting the clinic. No statement has been issued by the clinic's management, and the case continues to unfold, drawing significant public concern and scrutiny. Legal actions against the doctor are being pursued by the family, aiming for justice and accountability.

 

Looking ahead, further investigations by health and legal authorities are expected to clarify the situation and ensure the enforcement of medical standards. The family's demands for accountability and transparency continue as public and legal scrutiny remains intense.

 

 

Key Takeaways

• A Thai doctor is accused of causing severe burns to a three-year-old Laotian boy.
• The incident has led to legal action, public outcry, and compelled the clinic's closure.
• Authorities are involved, and investigations are ongoing to address the allegations.

A HOLE.

Sounds like a right quack or charlatan. 

The average 16 year old UK schoolboy knows more about the human body than 90% of Thai doctors.  I know because I was that kid.

Yes, but a big @sshole!

And then we have the group who will insist that their access to  medical care is fantastic. Sadly, this sort of incident is not unusual in rural areas. Health sector workers are not well regulated and there is little recourse for a victim of malpractice or abuse.

No 3 year olds should be getting jabbed with ANYTHING.

 

That's where the problems started.

 

And yes the fake doctor is an idiot and should be sued.

Thai hospitals in general I trust, but these 'clinics' no way. I bet they had to pay the bill too.

This quack needs a bit of his recommended treatment, followed by the insertion of 6 balls of OO, shot gun shell

Very sad.. what were they thinking?

Excuse me!! Yes they do have injections for various diseases and boosters. Our son has always had the necessary jabs since birth. Had a flu jab the other day at 5.6 years old.

Dr Somchai Frankestien 

I could possibly understand a jab depending on what was presented, but I have never heard of pouring hot water on anyone, especially a 3 year old child. Thank Goodness Grandpa stopped the 3rd attempt. Bad enough experience, but to send him home afterwards was definitely unacceptable.

Witch doctor ?

This proves my point that a large number of Thai doctors are quacks

They showed the boy on Thai news on TV without being blurred out.  The burns were very severe.  Covered over 50% of his chest.

 

I wonder if this guy has a medical license?

Soo many gullibile idiots believe so much of their quackery on the internet and they look so impressive with their stethoscopes around their collars.  

Almost like the Alovera claims years ago ... "Comsume it and you'll never have another flat tyre and your mother in law will always be nice to you."  😀. 

 Just joking, but pity the poor 3yo kid hey. What else is out there?

What a horror story! I wonder if the doctor have ever heart of Febrile Convultions which is not uncommon among smaller children having a fever and should be treated by removal of clothes and eventually a Diazepam suppository!

Since the 1950s young schoolkids, including me at age 6, had their lives saved by vaccines for polio, measles, whooping cough, and many more. They were administered in schools by trustworthy medical professionals. There was no mumps vaccine in  the early 60s and I got mumps and then meningioencephalitis at 8, very lucky to have survived that. The problems start with people who are ignorant of the practice of medicine, such as yourself, who subject their children unknowingly to quack cures or withhold proper treatment and vaccines. I have every bit of confidence in Thai mainstream medicine, and have been treated here many times.

What a horrible thing for a little kid to go through, and the betrayal by his own parents.

I hate to think what the poor child was injected with !

Why?

The flu shots rarely contain the correct version of whatever virus is going around because they have to guess and prepare the concoction before flu season. Those shots are full of nasty adjuvants that are bad for human health.  Search 'vaccine adjuvants' and decide whether you'd want that crap injected into your child's bloodstream.

Hence why i never go to the local doctors where i am and instead go to Bangkok to a reputable one. I used to get things i needed taken care of at the small town hospital. But after a couple or times, I realized they really do not know what they are doing. Doctors in those rural hospital are usually new doctors assigned there or very old ones.
