In a heartwarming display of quick thinking and bravery, 82-year-old Grandma Sa-ngeam Kuekkong saved an electrician’s life after he was electrocuted while working on her house. The incident occurred around 1 pm on Monday, in the tranquil Sattahip district, specifically in tambon Phlu Ta Luang. The Sawang Rojanathammasathan Foundation was immediately notified and dispatched an emergency team to the scene.

A security camera captured the dramatic event. It showed Somsak, a 61-year-old electrician, perched on a ladder near the edge of the roof, busy with his tasks. Suddenly, an electric shock surged through his body, causing him to convulse and rendering him unconscious.

Observing the distressing situation unfold, Sa-ngeam Kuekkong, affectionately referred to as “Yai” (grandma), sprang into action. Drawing on life-saving information she had previously come across on YouTube, she quickly tied a rope around Somsak’s right ankle and managed to pull him off the ladder, bringing him safely to the ground.

Without hesitating, Yai began administering chest compressions to stimulate Somsak’s heart. Her efforts were rewarded when he regained consciousness moments later. Following her heroic intervention, Somsak was promptly taken to Sattahip hospital where medical staff reported he was out of danger and expected to make a full recovery.

Grateful and slightly humble about her actions, Grandma Sa-ngeam recounted, “There was a short circuit at home, so I called an electrician. While he was moving things down from the roof, he accidentally touched the rainspout where the leaking electric current was. So, I used a tip from YouTube to save his life.”

Grandma Sa-ngeam’s story highlights the incredible impact of everyday knowledge and the power of immediate action in emergencies. This awe-inspiring grandmother not only demonstrated remarkable presence of mind but also showcased how resources like YouTube can be a valuable educational tool in life-saving techniques.

In today’s digital age, where information on practically any topic is just a click away, Yai’s story serves as a heartening reminder that this knowledge can and does make a difference. Sa-ngeam Kuekkong is a living testament to the adage that heroism knows no age. Her quick thinking and courageous actions have undoubtedly turned her into a local heroine, earning her the admiration of many.

As the story of Grandma Sa-ngeam and Somsak spreads, it underscores not just the importance of emergency responsiveness but also the genuine human spirit that resides in all of us, ready to act when the situation calls for it. The next time you find yourself scrolling through videos on YouTube, remember that you might just be learning something that can save a life, just like Grandma Sa-ngeam did for Somsak.

        Indeed, but let’s not forget that we should be cautious about the information we find online. Not all of it is accurate or safe!

    Great story, but it’s dangerous. People shouldn’t rely on YouTube for emergency medical advice!

    • Lizzy July 9, 2024

      I get your point, James, but isn’t it better to do something rather than nothing in a critical situation?

    • ParamedicPete July 9, 2024

      As a paramedic, I’d say it’s a mixed bag. Basic first aid knowledge is essential, but proper training is irreplaceable.

    • James R. July 9, 2024

      That’s exactly what I mean, Pete. People need formal training, not just YouTube videos.

      As a grandparent myself, I hope I could act that swiftly if needed. Love and instinct often take over.

    I’m skeptical about relying on YouTube. What if it had gone wrong?

    • EngineerJoe July 9, 2024

      She took a calculated risk and it paid off. Discrediting her because it was from YouTube isn’t fair.

      Not discrediting her, just saying people might get the wrong idea and try unqualified interventions.

      Qualified or not, her quick thinking saved a life. That’s what matters here.
