Bangkok: Red-Shirts Slam Chulalongkorn Hospital For Evacuating Patients

[thaibai]

It is disgusting and disgraceful that this hospital incident has been used as propaganda by Team Yellow, and patients have been moved for no reason other than for photo's by the craving Yellow media channels.

The Reds did not take weapons in.

They hurt nobody.

They beat nobody.

They killed nobody.

Nobody died.

Nobody suffered.

It was just a minor inconvenience for a short period of time.

What is disgusting is the Yellow media making all this patient moving happen just so they can take photo's for the propaganda.

You are not familiar with hospitals are you?

Incredible.

The lack of common sense

and complete lack of emotions is scary.

Stupid cruel people are the menace of the world.

Not even during the world war II did they storm hospitals.

Defending inhuman behavoiur like that, is reminding me of the

cruel Red Kmehrs.

I posted here on 28-April that I had been told by a friend working at Chula hospital that all operations had been cancelled and the hospital were not accepting any new cases. This started a full eighteen hours before the red shirts entered the hospital. The facts are that the hospital had planned to move the patients long before the red shirts entered the building. The two incidents are not connected, but a nice piece of propaganda for the government side.

Glad to see the red shirt leaders apologised, as a hospital is way off-limits for all sides in this dispute.

Go back and read what they said AFTER they "apologized".

It was VERY stupid to attack a hospital... let's be honest - but to evacuate is pure 'theater' and politically motivated - no doubt - but who's brainwave was it to attck n the first place? here's a gun - now's where's my foot?

You probably can't see them because they have been in plaster for many weeks now.

Does your orthopedic surgeon (or your psychologist for that matter), give you any hope?

[TheItaliann]

no word from the red tv members? come on how can you defend/ support / beleive these guys? just because you support the rights of the poor doesnt mean you have to b a red shirt! if these guys gained power it would b worse for everybody

Going to the hospital was a ridiculous move but moving the patients is an obvious PR opportunity for the government. Both sides are acting like children. i am sure the government was thrilled when they heard about the hospital situation. its not about what is best for thailand it is about winning and continuing your ability to steal the most

who knows if this is true or not but the whole "Look at granny being rolled out with her machines beeping. wait, lets stop and get a photo. oh jeez darn it these red shirts are bad guyz arent theyz" is just comical...

Could be that the reds were victims of a ploy by the government. Maybe they drove a couple of army trucks in and out several times appearing to 'deliver food' to convince the reds to do just this. Could have been a very clever 'chess move' in this war of propaganda. Or not. I'm not sure the gov't would have anticipated the reds to be so dumb, or for the gov't to think more than 2 moves ahead.

Either way, the reds shouldn't have gone storming into the hospital grounds. They shouldn't have even set up their barricade anywhere near the hospital in the first place. Actually, they shouldn't have set up a barricade anywhere in a public place.

Wonder if Arisaman and all the others who said they were turning themselves in on the 15th have started to worry about the date yet. And the rains are coming, they'll be singing to each other on that stage before long....

What is disgusting is that you posted this nonsense.

There is nothing in political protests that makes the action of occupying a hospital acceptable however it's done.

This must be a spoof

wasn't the evacuation oredered by the hospital management? medical professionals whose only responsibility is the care of their patients and who witnessed and suffered the intrusion?

Something's wrong if you see this as theatrical....

It was VERY stupid to protest in front of an airport...let's be honest...but to close it down is pure "theater" and politically motivated - no doubt.

Well done - that's a good contender for the most irrelevant non-sequitur in the history of ThaiVisa, Lanna

A word of warning to the reds, this is what can happen when you close hospitals down!

Levelhead

They have let you out again without your medication haven't they? Stay out of trouble and no dancing in the fast lane of the highway again.

[jackr]

The goverment was using the evacuation as a ploy to make the protesters look bad...

This statement just goes to prove how delusional and backward this lot are. I really feel sorry for the good-hearted guys who have been drawn in by their propaganda BS as this whole 'RED' fiasco has stigmatised the lot of them, painting them and their pathetic apologists as a bunch of rancid baboons.

No doubt the Princess' concerns for patients were just propaganda as well ?

I am not a "Yellow" or "Red" or... ___ this comment above makes me want to vomit big time. Why? NO country I can think of... dictatorship, communism, - the worse country in the world would have a "political" group stampede into a hospital -----but anywhere in the world a country (good or bad) would have a military to support the leader to handle such yo-yo's.

[hammered]

Interesting to read the report on the unmentionable news source about why the supreme patriarch was moved. Somehow I dont think anyone will be criticising moving people for their safety again. Not that they should have in the first place.

stopping all non-ermgency procedures and not accepting new non-emergency or unscheduled cases and re-scheduling as many cases as possible was surely sensible in view of the location of the hospital, the access difficulties and the widely-publicised expectation that beds would be needed if further violence broke out.

That's nowhere near the same as saying that emergency and intensive care patietnts would be sent home. I believe that less seriously ill patients had been evacuated several days prior and that the hospital planned to continue caring for the seriously ill patients indefinitely. They're medical professioansl for crying out loud. To make the jump that they planned to send the serious cases home too is the biggest non-sequitur since Lanna...think about it - it makes no sense; were it planned it would have been done previously.

However none of that matters - what matters is that a hospital was invaded by physical force...utter barbarism and let's not get side-tracked from that. Nothing else is at issue in this matter. Any right thinking reds should be the first to condemn this in the very strongest possible terms

[hunglikea]

Just reported on Thai news channels that people DID die due to being moved from the hospital!!

[SlumdogMillionaire]

Reds, what a bunch of brainless losers.

[MaxLee]

What the.....******

What kind of substance was in the UDD leaders' chicken legs that they ate for breakfast?

Such an insolence, raiding a hospital with thousands patients suffering from any form of diseases, and then complaining about an evacuation policies.

Don't you get it "Braindeads"???? These patients are afraid of you!!!!

How did they think they were looking prior to Chulagate? Did they really think they had everyone fooled into seeing them as freedom fighters? They've been looking bad starting with the videos of protesters accepting cash to go to Bangkok and getting uglier ever since.

ooooooooooooooooooooo, so sweet, nice, polite that the Red's apologised. I hope they apologise for disrupting the commuters on the Skytrain, shoppers wanting to go to the Siam area, the tourists who were visiting Bangkok, the workers from up North and Siam that lost their jobs (due to the protests and no business) the business people who couldn't get to work in Silom last week, the traffic mess they created last week with their road blocks... Oh I know, the Yellow party took over the airport; therefore the Reds can do these things also. Both parties were wrong. If Thais want to enjoy democracy in their country, they better read a civics book and learn about their personal duty is as a citizen for democracy to work.

[bkksteviejai]

Don't think the goverment are in the business of making martyrs of anyone, Abhisit isn't stupid, But perhaps he'll get caught in the crossfire somehow one day soon?.

Ah ... the beauty of this scenario is that Abhisit doesn't create the martyr. Anupong (or whoever is head of the military) would be responsible for the court-martial and execution of a rogue general.

Mmmmm, I see.....yes yes.....no sqeaky bum time for Abhisit, but the top Army boy will get it in the ar*e. ......who's ya daddy!

[animatic]

Just reported on Thai news channels that people DID die due to being moved from the hospital!!

If so then what will Chavalit say?

'Chavalit slams thia governemnt for cold blooded murder.'

Seems his own teams disregard for world wide accepted standards of human decency is badly on display.

Horrible, absolutely horrible.

[bkksteviejai]

You boys bite far too easy...........some of these pro-red posts are a nonsense troll-a-thon here on TV...........but then again, perhaps they are just yellow shirts trying to make the reds look bad?...........I f*ckin hate conspiracy theories........or do I....perhaps I would say that.

[lazurus]

Condemning the transfer of patients by the very people who made it necessary, might be time to fire your public relations team.

They'll find a way to post something along those lines.

I wonder if Jatuporn is having his cult followers sing and dance with cheers of joy as he had them do when Silom was bombed last month.

What I believe to be their five most self-discrediting acts in review:

- Accepting cash to demonstrate (against the government, no less). Pretty pathetic, but ok. TiT.

- Naming Thaksin and Democracy as their causes. To me, that's like fighting against racism in a nazi outfit.

- Blaming & condemning others for their own actions (fake reds, the govt, the yellow, reds but no leaders, etc). Blatant hypocrites at work.

- Searching people and their vehicles, even abducting on several occasions. Personally, I find this an extreme outrage.

- The hospital stunt: even in times of war, this is a no-no. That is beyond ...well I don't really have a word for it.
