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.

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.

Yes , this is the respectful Thailand i know so well.

bet he goes to the Temple as well on Sundays.

 

The poor Hospital work was only doing his job,  caring for people.

What a nasty attack 

 

Hope the cops prosecute him..

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."

Reads like someone lost patience while waiting for the heritage.

If that was after she stabbed you, I hope they also frisked her in case she came to finish the job!

My present wife was the 1 at ICU.

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.

From a private hospital to a government, whatever, with a brain tumor....I wish the guy all the luck in the world....!

[jacko45k]

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.

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.

Moron! Should be him in hospital instead, but an institutional one.

[daveAustin]

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.

[doremifasol]

See how the guy lifted his shirt before attacking......

 

pretty much like an orangutan would beat its chest......

They should never have let that brain haemorrhage guy walk out of the hospital in that condition.
