Doctor Wades Through Floods to Reach Surgery
A doctor waded through severe floodwaters to reach the hospital for emergency surgery after becoming trapped at home, eventually catching a taxi to Phyathai 2 Hospital despite water levels continuing to rise.
A doctor showed remarkable dedication by wading through floodwaters to reach the hospital for an emergency surgery, despite being unable to remove his car from home due to severe flooding. The inspiring story was shared by popular TikTok creator Chutima Keansuntia, who posted a video highlighting the doctor's commitment with the message "Patient is waiting, doctor is on the way."
The video shows the doctor trudging through deep water to hail a ride, with captions explaining that he needed to rush to perform surgery but couldn't get his car out because floodwaters had risen to wheel height and no vehicles could reach his home. Despite the difficulty, he persisted in calling for a Grab taxi while water levels in the soi continued rising as rain fell without stopping. After finally reaching a driver willing to brave the flooded streets, the doctor made it from Lad Krabang to Phyathai 2 Hospital.
The post praised both the doctor's dedication to his patients and the Grab driver's willingness to navigate the dangerous conditions, with wishes for smooth surgery and patient safety.
