SAKON NAKHON, THAILAND – A scandalous photograph has put a hospital director in a difficult position, facing explanations after allegedly holding a beer while drawing blood from a bedridden elderly patient at her home. The patient’s family has leveled serious accusations, leading the provincial administration to temporarily remove him from his post.

The images quickly went viral on social media. A resident from the Waritchaphum district posted photographs on Facebook showing the director in casual clothing.
It appeared a medical procedure was underway concurrently: the man was reportedly attempting to draw blood from the elderly patient, with a beer can within reach.

The senior citizen was unable to visit the hospital due to her health condition, necessitating the home visit. Relatives reported that she had to wait soberly.
However, instead of help, she allegedly received anger. According to the family, the blood draw was unsuccessful, and the elderly woman’s hand swelled. When relatives complained, the director reportedly became loud and aggressive.
