Ex-commerce minister sent to Police Hospital for examination

 

 

Former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyaphirom has been sent to the Police General Hospital for examination to determine whether he needs a surgery of cervical spine dislocation or not, said Corrections Department director-general Pol Col Narat Sawetanan on Wednesday.

 

He said doctors at the hospital would decide whether Boonsong would require  a surgery or not and how long he would be hospitalized. In case there is a need for surgery, corrections officials would be sent to the hospital to guard him around the clock in accordance with normal practice.

 

Boonsong, who is serving a 42-year prison term in connection with a fraudulent rice scheme, has been in and out of the Corrections Department’s hospital for medical treatment for his cervical spine problem. But lately, his condition has worsened to the extent that the Corrections Department’s hospital has decided to send him to the Police General Hospital which is better equipped and has specialists to deal with his ailments.
