Female doctor, ICU Staff at Rajawadi Hospital assaulted by patient's kin

However, the patient's condition took a worse turn and he was subsequently transferred to the ICU the following day. It was alleged that began making incoherent claims, such as his sister being in danger of kidnapping and his own life being threatened due to his disorientation. However, the accused blamed the hospital staff for her brother’s paranoia, believing they had exacerbated his mental distress.

The doctor who has served at the hospital since 2016 observing the patient's condition recommended administering medication in the early hours of November 7. When a nurse attempted to inject the medicine, the patient resisted by pushing her away and repeatedly removing his oxygen mask. Later, the doctor had to temporarily restrain his hands to stabilise the patient. After seeing his hands tied down, the accused became angry and proceeded to physically and verbally assault a ward boy. However, she later apologised to the doctor. 

According to the doctor's statement, the patient's condition worsened on the night of November 7. As a result, the doctor informed his family about placing him on a ventilator. However, the accused was enraged and became emotional as claimed by the doctor. This led to physical assault and verbal abuse against the doctor, nurses and the staff. 

Afterwards, the hospital authorities informed the police about the incident when the situation began to escalate. Accordingly, the situation was brought under control and the accused has been arrested.
