Brawl in Trat Hospital's ER Unit Damages 3 Ventilators
By Khaosod English


The ten men who started a brawl in a Trat hospital promise not to hold grudges against each other, 29 June 2015.

TRAT — Ten people, including three teenagers, were arrested for starting a fight and damaging three medical ventilators in a hospital emergency room in Trat province last Friday.

According to police, the ten were friends of two men who were injured in a fight at a nightclub shortly after midnight on 26 June. The pair was sent to Trat Provincial Hospital, and their friends arrived at around 2am, said Pol.Lt. Boonma Thathong, an officer at Mueang Trat Police Station.

However, upon seeing each other, the two groups resumed their brawl in the hospital's emergency unit, the officer told reporters.

"Such action damaged three of the hospital’s ventilators, which are medical equipment for the public," Pol.Lt. Boonma said.

They should be pointing at 3 ventilators!

The group has been charged with intruding a state building at night, and causing damage to public property. They will also be forced to pay for the costs of the damaged devices, Pol.Lt. Boonma said.

I was gonna say that the real damage would be the Thai public, who rely on these emergency rooms, as much as we do actually.....but after a decade port more in Thailand i tend to say what they say.....mai pen rai....la kon.

[pkspeaker]

..and they wont have enough money to pay for the ventalaitors, cops and prosecutor so they'll be spending a year in prison but at least they wont have a 'grudge'

[Manbing]

They should be pointing at 3 ventilators!

Or pointing at themselves.

This level of 'not-pointing' demonstrates a dangerous lack of regard for police and justice photographic protocols in the provinces.

On top of which only 8 of the 10 are pictured, presumably the policeman is not one of them, and that the other 2, 'know' someone.

Where will it all end?

So are these the opposing sides demonstrating cease of hostilities, or the winners celebrating that 8 on 2 are good odds?

Pity the BIB haven't got a sense of humour. They could call them in tomorrow and tell them somebody died for lack of a ventilator, and their charge has been upgraded to manslaughter. That'd wipe their grins off.

8 on the picture......

Of course it would be silly to start an equal fight.....

[bangon04]

They are obviously grinning, so proud of their achievements....

The Police make them take a pic and swear that they will not hold grudges or may be go to jail. These young men have no honor or respect for the law or this damages to the hospital would have never happened. I wonder what would they do if it was foreigners. They Thai thugs get no fines just get to play patty cake!
