Thaksin suffers heart valve disease and rarely has visitors : Chaichana

[snoop1130]

 

Convicted ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra is suffering from heart valve disease and rarely has visitors, said Chaichana Detdecho, chairman of the House Police Affairs committee.

 

He made this statement after visiting the Police General Hospital, where Thaksin has been receiving medical treatment for more than four months.

 

He and a committee member, Thipa Paweenasathien, a Move Forward MP, were granted access to the 14th floor of the hospital today but were not allowed to enter the wards to find out whether Thaksin is still there.

If it's true why didn't he have an operation while living overseas instead of coming back here , my grandson had a heart operation before he even had his first birthday and the problem was quite severe and is still taking medication 4 years later for the condition

Indeed... but we all know this is simply a fabrication...  as you mentioned, if he really had a heart condition medical treatment would have been sought way before he returned to Thailand, unless of course this all came on 'very suddenly'... cynical?... me ?....  noooooo !!!!

 

This is just a game - I'm surprised its being played so slowly. I thought he'd be in the comfort of his own home by now, under 'private medical care too expensive to be paid for by the state'.

He may well be at home as there is absolutely no proof that he is still in the hospital.

 

Kanman Po did it, and Thaksin is further up the tree than he ever was.

[Mr Meeseeks]

Would you fly and look so relaxed and happy with such a serious condition? 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Maybe overexcitement at Hun Sen's birthday party a few days earlier before returning to Thailand caused it?

The fact of the matter is that none of "we all" know that at all.

...and there is absolutely no proof that he is not there also.   You do realise that if he was transferred back to Klong Prem you'd also have "absolutely no proof that he was there" either!?

Doesn't this violate medical privacy "laws"?

 

 

As critics get closer to "looking behind the curtain", more details are leaked, and the condition(s) become more severe.

 

 

Who do they think they're fooling? I mean, other than themselves.

Not if he authorised the release of that information.

Get well soon Mr Thaksin - your country needs you.

Re privacy laws. Not if Thaksin gave permission for the information to be released. To be honest heart valve surgery ranges from routine to very severe...it is the severity we need to understand if he is being treated specially. This is theatre, the people arranging this have nothing but contempt for people....they don't care what you or me think, or the Thai people think. They are totally shameless, and they know the Thai people will accept what they do because they have been doing it for years

I do so enjoy how the many physicians, heart doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists sitting anonymously behind keyboards can reach their conclusions, without reading ALL the patients medical history, and indeed, without ever meeting the patient face to face.

My point is that the chap making the claim, knows nothing other than what is reported in the media. And we have all seen that and drawn our own conclusions. It is ludicrous to suggest that a poor man from Isaan jailed for 5 years for picking wild mushrooms get this sort of treatment....they'd let him die. Perhaps if you went out and became a billionaire (in USD) then perhaps you would get special treatment too.

If you had billions, would you fly on a private jet without a medical team or trained physician with such a condition?

Maybe he thought he could get it done here for 30Bt.

I have the same----function 80% OK , thinking of getting a new valve put in which now is quite easy---no more open heart ---the new Janna Valve, invented 2 years ago, is replaced up through main artery it adjust to whatever size is needed.

Get well soon P'Thaksin.

[connda]

My guess is that the clinical cure for Thaksin's heart valve disease is a pardon.  After the pardon, the valve will miraculously repair itself after which Mr. Thaksin will be able to resume seeing family, friends, acquaintances, and power-brokers.
He should be good as new by this time next year.

For any other Thai in prison:

Your old, your heat is bad, you will die. We can't/won't do anything about that.

 

Or how many other prisoners are at the same hospital with similar disease?

Smith claimed that Thaksin's heart condition is fabrication.  That has not been confirmed as being factual by any media sources.
