Udon Thani Hospital Drama: Thonglee’s Asthma Attack Leads to ICU Chaos and Apology

Amidst the serene and rolling landscapes of the Isaan province, there’s usually not much more than the whisper of wind and the bustling trade of markets. But on March 17, 2025, Udon Thani, within this tranquil setting, was a buzz with quite the unique and chaotic story. It wasn’t about an exotic tourist attraction or a street market filled with troves of local flavors — no, this particular tale comes wrapped in a high dose of adrenaline and drama right from the Emergency Room.

Thonglee, a 60-year-old resident of Udon Thani, found himself at the center stage of this drama. What led to this momentous hospital escapade started quite unassumingly: Thonglee, troubled by severe asthma symptoms, had a little too much of the merry juice before deciding, in great wisdom, that seeking medical help was inevitable. As fate would have it, he stumbled into Nong Han Hospital around the witching hour, not just a stroke away from wheezing but also smelling distinctly of spirits.

Now, hospitals, as we know, are sanctuaries where layers of sterile calm wrap around every moment. But that Friday, the ICU was jolted into a saga of defiance as medical staff attempted to outfit Thonglee with all manners of life-saving gadgetry—ventilator, nasogastric tube, catheters (oh my!) Yet, amidst gentle assurances from nurses, Thonglee was anything but a docile patient. He felt akin to Houdini, fueled by fear more than finesse, and dislodged all the life-supporting couture that medics had attached to him.

The escape attempt was followed by the unfortunate transformation of Thonglee from patient to pugilist. The hospital transformed into an unintended arena as punches and kicks were unleashed in quick succession, much to the detriment of three medical workers who bore the brunt of his panic-fueled frenzy. Nurse Ning, one of the valiant frontline workers, found herself patched up for bruises, all borne in the line of duty.

With the social media engines revving up, the tale of Thonglee’s ordeal churned through various platforms, leading to an interview with Channel 7 where the man himself clarified his seemingly irrational actions. In his defense, Thonglee elaborated on how the rescue team’s decision to zoom him to the ICU was premised purely on urgency—his asthma medication having run out tipped the balance. Yet to him, the hospital scene echoed a past experience, a terrible deja vu of sorts, as he’d recently lost a friend under eerily similar hospital conditions.

The burly guardian of Thai hospitals turned reluctant ‘boxer’ expressed heartfelt apologies to his unwilling sparring partners. With grace, the nurses, though bruised, displayed remarkable professionalism and opted to let the hospital’s legal team knot and unknot the incident legally, refraining from turning the ER turn brawl into a courtroom drama.

The tale is the latest in a worrying trend where Thailand’s medical environments have turned from repositories of care to unexpected stages of conflict. February and March had already seen a nurse slapped in Rayong and another viciously attacked by a monk in Lop Buri. This unexpected rise in aggressive patient behavior has certainly raised eyebrows across medical communities.

Yet, as the days roll on in Udon Thani, with hopefully fewer agitated patients wielding fists, this tale serves as a clarion call of what mustn’t be repeated. For now, all eyes remain on ensuring hospital hallways echo only with sounds of healing humming through, where jabs remain strictly relegated to vaccination, not confrontation.
