Nurses apologise for photo with slain officer The Nation October 31, 2013 1:00 am Three nurses at Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Hospital yesterday apologised to the public for an inappropriate photograph taken in the hospital's intensive-care unit. Two of the nurses are seen flashing a "victory" sign in front of the body of Pol Sgt Nimit Deewong, who was killed along with two fellow bomb-squad officers in a blast in Narathiwat on Monday. After the photo was circulated on social media from Tuesday night, the nurses' action came in for heavy public criticism as being inappropriate, insensitive and unethical. Hospital director Chatchai Srinamwong confirmed that the photo was taken at the hospital and said an initial probe deemed the nurses' action to have violated the patient's rights. Hence they were guilty of professional misconduct. Insisting that the hospital staff were committed to their work, he said the nurses' action stemmed from a lack of awareness of the situation. Nurse Patsaroh Rodomasae, whose face was captured, said she had no intention of offending anyone, while nurse Nosira Doloh, whose hand gesture was captured, said they meant no offence but were merely trying to signify that they would "fight" by continuing to work in the region. Another nurse, Norisa Jehlae, who took the photo, said she was sorry and asked for forgiveness. http://www.nationmul...r-30218344.html http://news.sanook.com/1294713/%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%96%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%AD%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A9%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7-%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%97.%E0%B8%96%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%94/

Bullying, unfortunately, is common in armies throughout the world. Came across these videos below, which are doing the rounds on Thai Facebook at the moment. In the first video, the poster says he doesn't know what the soldier was being punished for. The 2nd video was apparently sparked by the soldiers being caught smoking and refusing to admit to it when confronted. Quite a few of the Thai posters said the soldiers dealing out the assault should be punished by being sent down South to deal with the separatist insurgency instead of the recruits they were training. Anyway, can't imagine it will do much good for the image of the Thai army and conscription there. Any farang with Luk Kreung who might be subject to the draft, take heed. https://www.facebook...543395739037729 https://www.facebook...544534028923900
