A physician who serves as the Chief Medical Officer at the Police Hospital, has shared insights following his assessment of the health condition of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

The examination, conducted on August 23, included electrocardiogram tests administered through a mobile EKG machine. Additionally, tests focusing on lung and heart health unveiled persistent concerns, reported INN.

 

Notably, Thaksin's blood pressure has maintained stability, allowing for coherent communication. The comprehensive findings were duly reported to the Department of Medical Services.

 

The hospitalization of Thaksin traces back to his partial ICU stay during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It's crucial to note that this medical intervention was initiated not at his request but rather at the urgent behest of the Royal Medical Services.

 

Consequently, the attending physician has expressed unease about the circumstances. It's emphasized that medical treatments and the divulgence of patient data adhere to principles of patient consent and medical ethics.

 

Turning attention to the recent air conditioning matter, repairs have been successfully completed, ensuring comfort for all patients.

 

Consideration of relocating Thaksin to a private medical facility hinges upon the efficacy of the ongoing treatment. Worth mentioning is the fact that the Police Hospital possesses the capability to provide comprehensive care without necessitating a transfer.

 

It's emphasized that political and security considerations fall beyond the purview of the hospital. Remarkably, the Police Hospital has never instigated patient examinations and maintains a steadfast commitment to upholding patient rights.

Is it normal and legal to publish data about his personal health issues?

Are all the health data from all prisoners published?

I always thought that kind of information is confidential.

It is all part of an orchestrated efforts to portray Thaksin as a sick man in poor health to justify a pardon on a grounds of, "Oh, he's harmless sickly old man, no point in keeping him in jail now."

You may well be correct.

 

Can you see him returning to the Bangkok remand prison?  I think we all know the answer to that.  

The Army Hospital is much better, but may not be so good for his health.

 

After half a day in the slammer he could take no more its full of common criminals and no aircon ????

I suspected that the fix was in before he decided to return. Why else would he do so?

Ok....we get it.

He needs a lengthy stay at hospital and then recuperate at home.????

 

 

What a load of crap!  (sorry cant see any other way to put it).

"Champagne wishes and caviar dreams."

Dollars to a jar of rancid fish paste says he'll be ensconced under "house arrest" in a mansion befitting his fragile state of health within a month. The only burning question is what were the numbers preceding the nine zeroes of his merit-making gift to facilitate the homecoming.

 

House arrest a la Thai will mean don't vacation on Mars, otherwise no pompem. 

 

 

Waffle, waffle, bs, nowt wrong with the malingering bastard but then again unless you are a complete retard we already know this, bought and paid for....

I hope there's a lengthy power cut.

I think it depends. 

 

If it has been leaked without consent then Thaksin could bring a legal claim. He also has a lot of control over the ministries involved.

 

If he doesn't do that then I'd suggest that maybe it's a good distraction for his supporters after siding with the military, again, despite the promises. 

 

For his critics it's an excuse for the fact he won't spend time in prison.

I think you're right. He'll be able to go, and do what he wants. He'll probably be able to leave the country,  with permission of course, which he will be able to get without any problems. Even Mars should that become possible. 

Is Thaksin really sick?

 

No!

Well we can all make smartass comments but none of us on AN actually has a clue as to his real state of health or what the current plans by and for him are.

 

It is certainly not impossible that he might be genuinely suffering the ailments that rich people of his age usually suffer (too much lavish foods, too little exercise, too much stress ... ), and all the excitement of the last few days has been almost more than his oldish body has been able to cope with ...

 

I guess we'll be in a better position any week now to offer yet more demonstrations of our collective nous and humanity.

I have no doubt that his poor condition will ultimately lead to a pardon and early release so his few remaining years can be spent with his family whereupon  his health will miraculously return to enable him to live a full and happy life

Doctor Reveals Concerning Symptoms in Thaksin's Condition

"tests focusing on lung and heart health unveiled persistent concerns" - Doctor did not reveal symptoms, only vague concerns

"Thaksin's blood pressure has maintained stability" - That's the only "symptom" the doctor revealed

Having lived here before, during and after the Coup and witnessing the many magical and mysterious wrinkles that went down along the way to making Prayuth lord and master of the realm - well, nothing could surprise.  This one is made to order for the next John Burdett novel.  Bangkok (insert name here) and it ain't over yet. 

It’s amazing. He was flying all over the place prior to coming here and as soon as he gets here in less than 24 hours is it a hospital? Amazing Thailand,  the whole thing was planned out ahead of time with all parties. Concerned people are forgetting  TIT

why would you hope for that? 

The dottori might be reminded of patient's rights and confidentiality. We all have our little assumptions on the health condition of Dr T yet officially the doctor has to keep his mouth shut as all that falls under privileged information. 

I am not a doctor but I saw the disembarkation at Don Meuang, the kneeling and the greetings as well as the returning back into the building. Given the emotional stress and the temperatures outside an ice-cold airport terminal I found, that Dr T took all that rather cool, no sweating and no signs of any discomfort ........
