Hospital Incident in Nonthaburi Involves Patient Allegations
A man was detained at Phra Nang Klao Hospital after accusing staff of tampering with medical records and implanting a tracking device in his head.
On August 5, 2026, police from Rattanathibet Station in Nonthaburi were called to Phra Nang Klao Hospital to manage a public disturbance. According to Khaosod Online, a 31-year-old man was livestreaming accusations against hospital staff, claiming they had provided him with falsified X-ray results. The individual alleged that the hospital was colluding with police to conceal evidence related to a previous physical assault he claims to have suffered, which resulted in a fractured eye socket.
Furthermore, the man asserted that the hospital had implanted a tracking device inside his head. The situation escalated into a verbal confrontation with another person at the hospital, requiring security intervention. Following the incident, the man was taken into custody to calm down, and medical professionals reportedly recommended a transfer to Srithanya Hospital for psychiatric evaluation rather than police detention.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights a localized disruption at a public facility. While the individual’s claims regarding medical tampering and tracking devices remain unverified and are being addressed by medical staff, the event serves as a reminder of the importance of following official hospital protocols when requesting medical records. It remains to be confirmed whether the patient will pursue further legal action or if the medical evaluation at Srithanya Hospital will provide additional context regarding his claims.
