PHUKET: Vachira Phuket Hospital Director Dr Chalermphong Sukhonthaphon has confirmed that three-month-old baby Phakawadee Charnkol will receive free corrective surgery to the little finger on her left hand after a nurse’s assistant accidentally cut it with a pair of scissors, leading to the tip of the finger starting to rot – and eventually fall off.

 

The parents will also receive state compensation for the harm done, Dr Chalermphong told a press conference held at the hospital yesterday (Dec 9).

 

The news follows Phakawadee’s parents – father Stawut Charnkol, 34, and mother Oranuch Thongdee, 24 – filing a formal complaint against the hospital over the lack of response by the hospital in addressing the issue.

Don't they sterilize their equipments? I'd hesitate to use that hospital.

Of course they shall give free correction surgery. Just sad that it has to hit the news and social media before the fat aaaa-r-se of the hospital director feels the need to move in the right direction.

Is this the same lazy director who complained about farang not paying their medical bills and wanted to force insurance on all?
