    Wonder if they have checked for Hepatitis B, since it's easier to catch than HIV.  Worth to know is that about 1 out of 300 who accidentally stuck with a needle from someone with HIV get infected. But for hepatitis B, the odds is as high as 1 in 3 if you haven't been vaccinated for it.

    Correct a person taking high quality western drugs can be just about 0 viral level even have a baby. Blood will not pass the virus. We have come far from decades back. A untreated low immune system drug addict will have a high viral load almost certain probable infection carrier.

    This is the sort of campaign where residents cough up 35,000 baht for some raggedy ass painter to repaint their houses who is then paid about 10,000 baht for his efforts while the other 25,000 goes under the table to those in high office. Sounds normal routine.

    Yes corruption and filth in one can

    Family of woman who died seek action against hospital for ‘lack of morality’

    By The Nation

    Relatives of a 38-year-old woman, who succumbed to her injuries after her husband splashed acid on her on Friday, talk to reporters yesterday.

     

    OUTSPOKEN lawyer Atchariya Ruangratanapong yesterday brought relatives of a 38-year-old woman – who on November 9 had succumbed to injuries sustained from her jealous husband splashing acid on to her face – to file a petition with the Public Health Ministry to investigate Praram 2 Hospital and its doctors for an alleged “lack of morality”.

    They plan to sue the Bangkok hospital for Bt10-million compensation, and the lawyer said he would also press for the private hospital to be closed, if possible.

     

    Atchariya cited Cholladda Tharawan’s relatives as claiming that she had not received timely treatment at the hospital that would have saved her life, as the staff had reportedly told Chorladda and her accompanying 12-year-old daughter at 5am on November 9 to get treatment at another hospital. 

     

    Praram 2 Hospital had allegedly claimed the woman’s symptoms at the time were non-critical and that she had expressed a wish to get treatment at Bang Mod Hospital, with which she was subscribed for “gold card” medical care under the universal healthcare scheme. “We have already done our best,” the hospital’s director Wanlapa Chaimanowong said yesterday.

    Dr Phira Kananuwat, a surgeon at the hospital, said there were CCTV recordings related to the case that authorities could examine. 

     

    “Hospital staff did not demand her to register for a patient’s card first. They said she could seek treatments right away,” Phira said.

     

    Atchariya said the family had petitioned the director-general of the Public Health Ministry’s Health Service Support Department (HSSD), the president of the Medical Council of Thailand and the president of the Thailand Nursing and Midwifery Council to punish related parties, including Praram 2 Hospital executives, as well as doctors and nurses on duty at the time, as they allegedly “lacked the morality” to assess the patient’s condition and merely looked at her healthcare scheme subscription. 

     

    According to the ministry’s regulation, the hospital could treat any emergency patients, the lawyer said, adding that it was also unacceptable for it to have allegedly allowed a nurse to conduct a diagnosis. As he presented the petition to HSSD deputy chief Dr Prapas Jittasirinuwat, the lawyer urged the department to take action against the hospital within three days.

     

    Prapas, offering condolences to the family, said department officials would later yesterday check whether the hospital had adhered to the Health Facility Act in its actions. 

     

    If the hospital were deemed to have failed to help the patient to its full capacity, it could be held accountable for a violation of the Act, an offence punishable with a maximum two-year imprisonment and a maximum Bt40,000 fine, he explained.

     

    Dr Akom Pradittasuwan, who heads the Bureau of Sanatorium and Healing Arts, said it would take about one week to investigate the complaint against Praram 2 Hospital. “If it is found guilty, we will forward the case to the Medical Council too,” he said. Chorladda’s mother, Thong-art Tharawan, said she had assigned Atchariya to act on the family’s behalf as they wanted the Public Health Ministry to take action against Praram 2 Hospital for denying treatment for her daughter.

     

    She also said the hospital had not yet contacted the family to provide any aid.

    Thong-art also said she would not forgive her acid-splashing son-in-law as his action was “too cruel”.

     

    Meanwhile, Chorladda’s husband, 50-year-old Lop Buri native Kamtan Singhanart, was arrested on Sunday night at his friend’s house in Nakhon Sawan’s Banphot Phisai district.

    The bill shown above works out to 3.91 baht per kWh. He has a service charge of 312.24 baht, which is inflating his average after-tax rate quite a bit. My service charge in Pattaya is 38.22 baht.

    Yes but we were only asking cost per KW. He insisted 4.50 which as we know is not correct. Anyway who cares it is what it is

    PEA app has a cost calculator that show's quite accurate estimates, my house nr.1 had usage avg of 250kWh with cost of 3.88thb/unit (govt.rate). House nr.2 usage avg of 460kWh with a cost of 4.15thb/unit(govt.rate). The tariffs are levied with spend more-pay more type of scheme in Thai residential houses, which is why so many landlords try to get you sign a separate electrical price agreement, to offset make a margin on low cost rental fees. 

    Thank you
