PHUKET: An American tourist fishing from rocks near Promthep Cape, at the southern end of Phuket, was safely recovered yesterday (Feb 4) after he slipped and broke his arm, and became stuck in a gap in the rocks while the tide was rising.

 

Rescue officers from the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation office at Rawai Municipality (DDPM-Rawai) were notified of the incident at 3:30pm.

 

DDPM-Rawai Chief Teerapong Taodang said that the alarm was raised by other tourists in the area who were unable to bring the tourist, Richard John Schroeder, 60, from Santa Barbara, California, to safety.

It's sounds like a business idea has taken off well with a good customer base for the foreseeable future.

Chalong hospital.

The accident and emergency department, in a separate building, has been operating for more than a year.

The last announcement I read, stated an outpatients department will open in April and a 30 bed inpatient ward in June. Budgetary problems with medical equipment and staffing are slowing the opening of other departments until at least October.

It will take up to 5 years before it achieves full capacity of 150 beds.
