In an unexpected twist, the Medical Council has deferred its verdict on Thaksin Shinawatra's medical care at the Police General Hospital. The decision, originally slated for April 10, was postponed due to a tide of documentation pouring in at the final hour.

 

Reports indicate crucial medical records from both the Corrections Department’s hospital and the Police General Hospital only landed on March 31 and April 1.

 

The sheer volume of papers demands meticulous scrutiny, the council declared in a statement, rendering it impossible to meet the April deadline. Professionals are now dissecting these documents to assess potential ethical breaches by the doctors who tended to Thaksin.

 

The ex-prime minister's lengthened stay at the hospital since his return to Thailand on August 22, 2023, has prompted widespread scepticism.

 

 

 

Allegations swirl around Thaksin, accusing him of exaggerating serious health issues to steer clear of his eight-year jail term. Suspicions suggest possible collusion with medical professionals to remain within hospital walls rather than a prison cell.

 

However, a royal pardon ultimately sliced the sentence down to one year, and Thaksin never actually donned prison garb.

 

This case has riveted the nation, leaving citizens speculating about the real story behind Thaksin's hospital time. As the Medical Council continues its enquiry, eyes remain glued to further developments.

 

The decision, whenever it arrives, could have significant repercussions for those involved and might just spark yet another chapter in the Thaksin saga. The future remains uncertain, with facts yet to unfold.
