'No evidence' ex-PM was critically sick
The Medical Council of Thailand (MCT) has reaffirmed its decision to discipline three doctors who facilitated the controversial transfer of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra to the 14th floor of the Police General Hospital (PGH).
Prof Dr Prasit Watanapa, the MCT’s vice president, said yesterday that the council upheld its original resolution to issue a warning to one doctor at the Department of Corrections Hospital and suspend the licences of two others at PGH over Thaksin’s transfer.
The key issue, the council stated earlier, was whether Thaksin was so ill that the prison hospital could not treat him and had to transfer him to the PGH. It found “no empirical evidence” to support the conclusion that the former PM was “critically ill”.
A meeting was convened yesterday to reconsider the council's decision after Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin failed to endorse it.
