Myanmar teen’s ‘member’ mangled in Phuket shrimp farm accident

A 17-year-old Myanmar migrant worker was unlucky-but-lucky that his sexual reproductive organ remained intact after being slashed by the blade of an aeration turbine at a shrimp farm in the north of Thailand’s Phuket.

A “good samaritan” who was not named had reportedly brought the young man to the hospital in the back of his pickup truck and told hospital staff that he had looked after the shrimp farm where the accident took place.

According to the man, the victim was identified as Mr. Few, a migrant worker who visited his friends at the farm on his day off. He was swimming in the pond when the accident took place. Upon realizing what had happened after hearing loud screams, the man said he rushed Few to the hospital.

Police are investigating claims, while doctors have yet to comment on Few’s long-term prognosis.
