A Thai man sought help from medical workers in the Isaan province of Nakhon Ratchasima after wearing a padlock as an earring and suffering an infection in his earlobe.

A medical worker from Chakkarat Hospital, Keacha Ploymuenwai, shared a video of the man with the infected earlobe on his TikTok account @aemdam on August 29. In the video caption, he wrote, “Super earring. What inspired you to do this?”

The video showed the man wearing a silver padlock on his left ear. His earlobe was swollen and red. The hole where the lock was hung had a bloody wound. The medical worker and the victim could be heard discussing the removal of the lock:

Medical worker: “It will tear. If I cut it a little, it will tear.”
Victim: “Cut it then.”
Medical worker: “It will hurt a little bit, alright?”
Victim: “Never mind.”

Channel 7 reported that the medical worker cut the earlobe, not the padlock, as the earlobe was about to tear due to the infection.

According to the media, the victim lost the key to the padlock, making it impossible for him to remove it despite the pain caused by its weight. The reason for wearing the padlock was not disclosed but Channel 7 reported that the man had a mental illness.

In a similar incident reported in April, the Ruam Katanyu Rescue Foundation assisted a 65 year old Thai man in Bangkok in removing a plastic bottle from his penis. The victim revealed that he was suffering from erectile dysfunction and had decided to use Viagra.

To test the effects of the medication, he took the pills and placed his penis in the plastic bottle. As the medication took effect, his organ became stuck in the bottle’s mouth. It swelled and bled, prompting him to seek help from the rescuers.
