If you think your job is tough, just hear out this story of a Thailand veterinary doctor who ended up being covered in excrement while treating a constipated elephant. Recently, an elderly elephant at the nature park in Chiang Mai, Thailand was suffering with a severe case of blockage, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Seeing the animal in distress, Dr Tom was called to treat the elephant following which he quickly administered enema to flush the trapped waste out. After removing a huge portion of poo trapped in the elephant’s anus, the vet was hit square in the face by a yellowish deluge as the floodgates opened!
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media, with some people amused by it and others understandably, disgusted. However, jokes apart, people have also applauded Dr Tom’s dedication to his job and hailed him for helping a distressed animal out of pain.
