webfact Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Video: ER worker attacked by patient's relative after he forbids entry to ICU Picture: Sanook TRANG: -- Video from a government hospital in Trang shows an emergency room worker being assaulted by the relative of a patient in ICU. The worker - Thotsapon Chumnuan, 29, went to the media armed with CCTV evidence after he claimed nothing was being done to help him, reported Sanook. The footage shows a young man swiping Thotsapon twice around the head. He said that a patient had been transferred from a private hospital earlier with a brain hemorrhage. When relatives arrived he tried to prevent them from going in the room where the patient was being treated. But they ignored his request. When they came out after he was attacked. Thotsaphon told the media that he felt scared and didn't want to go into work for fear of a repeat attack. He reported the matter to police and the hospital but little seemed to have been done to back him up. He said he was only doing his job and was an employee of the state. Sanook.com said that when their reporters went to the hospital they were denied access and the director refused to speak to them saying he would investigate what happened first. But local police said that a man has been summonsed to appear on a charge of assault.

colinneil Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Ignorant buggers, patient in ICU with a brain hemorrhage, last thing the patient needs is crazy (dirty ) family members contaminating things. When i was in ICU,, my wife had to don protective clothes/mask/overshoes, before being allowed in for only 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thais don't think of rules as actually being rules. They see them more like guidelines, that can be ignored at any time for convenience. Entering an ICU is as perfectly natural to them as jumping the lights. They simply can't process the fact that their actions could have "consequences."

If that was after she stabbed you, I hope they also frisked her in case she came to finish the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if the do accept that there are consequences then they'll simply deny the cause, refuse responsibility and most definitely won't be at fault.

fish monger Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 From a private hospital to a government, whatever, with a brain tumor....I wish the guy all the luck in the world....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Looks like some local thug not used to being told what he can and cannot do. Likely police will do nothing too. There is enough evidence to charge him with assault and he should be banned from the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusangel Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) A band of filthy, unsterile people paraded inside an ER, and going to an ICU perhaps? I always see that here in LOS. Not unusual. Edited March 10, 2017 by markusangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Real Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Moron! Should be him in hospital instead, but an institutional one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It is likely this person is as brain-active as his relative lying in ICU, so, with that notion, I am not all that perturbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doremifasol Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 See how the guy lifted his shirt before attacking...... pretty much like an orangutan would beat its chest...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphere Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 They should never have let that brain haemorrhage guy walk out of the hospital in that condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
