A hospital director in Sakon Nakhon has been temporarily reassigned after images appeared to show him drinking beer while drawing blood from an elderly patient. The patient received the home visit because several health conditions made travelling to the hospital difficult. Relatives allege that the director drank in front of the woman, failed to complete the blood draw and left her hand swollen. They also claim he became angry when challenged, demanded 1,000 baht for the out-of-hospital service and told the family to seek care elsewhere. Provincial officials launched an investigation following widespread criticism and concerns from residents about his professional conduct.

Call me old fashioned but I think that disputes of this nature should be dealt with discretely at first, the dr has been "reassigned" pending an investigation so the matter is proceeding, surely it would be better to wait for the result before involving the media. I assume they are Thai and know how things work better than us foreigners, but considering Thailand's somewhat unique defamation laws i would not recommend publicly criticising anybody here , especially online

Having said that if there are any images of him drinking on the job I would love to see them, be like something out of a carry on film
