Report Pattaya Hotpot Brawl Sends Three to Hospital in Dinner Fight Drama
Yeah, I was using similar things twenty years ago here, although more commonly with pork meat. Usually like someone else to do the cooking when I eat out, and most non-AC places are hot enough without that thing bubbling on the table. -

The alarming mental decline of Donald J. Trump -- watch this space
The Goldwater Rule is an ethical guideline for psychiatrists, prohibiting them from offering professional opinions about public figures without first conducting an examination and obtaining proper authorization. This rule was established in response to concerns about psychiatrists making uninformed assessments of public figures' mental health, particularly during the 1964 presidential campaign when there were discussions about Barry Goldwater's mental state. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Purpose: The primary goal was to prevent psychiatrists from offering casual or speculative opinions about public figures' mental health, especially without a proper examination. Scope: The Goldwater Rule applies to all professional opinions, not just diagnoses, and extends to public figures in the media or those who have disclosed information publicly. Ethical Concerns: The rule addresses ethical concerns about the potential for harm to public figures and the integrity of the profession when psychiatrists offer opinions without proper evaluation, says Psychiatry.org. Contemporary Relevance: The rule continues to be relevant, particularly during election seasons or when public figures are subject to intense scrutiny, according to Psychiatric Times. Origins: The rule originated in 1973 as part of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics. -

Accident Man in Coma After Hospital Dismisses Venomous Snake Bite as ‘Non-Emergency’
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A man is in a coma after allegedly being misdiagnosed and prematurely discharged from a hospital, following a venomous snake bite. Family members are accusing medical staff of negligence and questioning the hospital’s triage procedures. The incident was brought to public attention via a Facebook post from an acquaintance of the victim, who recounted how the man was bitten by a snake at around 01:00. Upon arriving at the hospital, doctors conducted a blood test and concluded that there was no venom present, prescribing only paracetamol and antibiotics. The family was told the case was not serious and that the man could return home. The doctor reportedly advised the man’s mother to bring him back to the hospital at 99:00. However, before that time, the victim’s condition deteriorated rapidly, he became non-verbal, experienced respiratory distress, and was unable to open his eyes or move his tongue. He was rushed back to the hospital, where a second blood test revealed the presence of venom. Doctors then confirmed that he had been bitten by a bungarus candidus, known locally as a “tub samingkhla” snake or Malayan krait, one of the most venomous species in Thailand. Family members criticised the hospital for failing to act urgently, despite clear signs of a venomous bite, and condemned the lack of appropriate antivenom treatment in the initial visit. “This kind of negligence is unacceptable. Every life has value, and no one should be treated as less important,” the Facebook post read. Experts describe the bungarus candidus as a highly dangerous species, identifiable by its black-and-white banded body. Although the bite may be painless or barely noticeable, the neurotoxic venom can quickly lead to respiratory failure and death, especially if the victim is bitten while asleep and unaware of the injury. Medical professionals warn that immediate medical attention and antivenom are crucial for survival following a bite from this snake. The delay in treatment can result in severe complications, including coma or death. The hospital involved has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident. Calls are growing for an official investigation and a review of emergency care protocols to prevent similar cases in the future. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-09. -
