Popular Post webfact Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2023 Outgoing Minister of Justice Wissanu Krea-ngam explained to reporters on Friday that he ‘sympathised’ with former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra who suffered a hypertensive crisis in the medical centre of Bangkok Remand Prison late on Tuesday night necessitating his removal to Police General Hospital. Mr Wissanu also emphasised that any potential Royal pardon would deal with all of Mr Thaksin’s offences. He was speaking as the top physician at the Police General Hospital in Bangkok, revealed ongoing concerns for Mr Thaksin’s health and the hospital’s focus on his treatment, not politics or security. The onerous responsibility placed on authorities due to real underlying health problems, the advanced age of Mr Thaksin at 74 and his unique position as a politically important figure, means that officials must err on the side of caution and make sure that the country’s most famous prison inmate is afforded the best possible medical care. This is a growing headache as political controversy over Mr Thaksin’s status grows. On Friday, outgoing Minister of Justice Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam defended the decision by doctors at Bangkok Remand Prison in the early hours of Wednesday morning to transfer former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to the Police General Hospital in the capital for specialist care as he confirmed that Thaksin suffered a hypertensive crisis with dangerously elevated blood pressure levels. The minister was speaking as the top Police General Hospital physician issued a statement stating that Thaksin’s blood pressure was now stable but that scans and tests on his lungs indicated the need for further care and treatment. by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor Full story: https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2023/08/26/thaksin-suffered-risky-hypertensive-crisis-before-prison-transfer/ -- Thai Examiner 2023-08-28 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post brommers Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2023 This medical story is nothing but a confection created by the Thaksin camp. In turn the authorities are sh*itting themselves because they don't want him to die under their watch. It is highly amusing to watch these camps playing their games. Much more so than any TV comedy show. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being better than a Thai soapie / comedy is still at an extremely low level of competence, that's assuming competence can be lowered to such a level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) He must be well enough to leave his hospital bed. The Department of Corrections will allow no more than ten close family members, lawyers or relatives to visit former inmate #Thaksin on Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the VVIP room on the 14th floor of the Maha Bhumibol Rachanusorn Building, Police Hospital. https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1695959693703983165 Edited August 28, 2023 by anchadian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 So basically the man is too sensitive to be in prison. He got upset on his first day inside and was rushed out as he could not cope. I would think most people would have high blood pressure and feel stressed on their first day in prison. It's not some happy relaxing holiday resort.

Mr Derek Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Oh please. Hypertension is easily dealt with by easily-available pills. After all these years he's suddenly discovered he's got high blood pressure? He's only been back a few days and we're seeing a surreal levels of manipulative BS already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blood pressure of 170/100 falls into the very high range. You should definitely follow up with your doctor about your blood pressure to see what kind of medication and lifestyle changes you can use to lower it. Untreated high blood pressure can greatly increase a person's risk of having a stroke and other health problems. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/special-features/high-blood-pressure-understanding-silent-killer Normal pressure is 120/80 or lower. Your blood pressure is considered high (stage 1) if it reads 130/80. Stage 2 high blood pressure is 140/90 or higher. If you get a blood pressure reading of 180/110 or higher more than once, seek medical treatment right away. A reading this high is considered “hypertensive crisis.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reading this high is considered “hypertensive crisis.” Seems as many posters don't know this. I do. Through medication I have been able to keep my readings below 120/80. However, it did go over 165/100 during one emergency room visit. Judging from my own personal experience I would say the report of Thaksin's "hypertensive crisis seems quite plausible.
