Bad week for Banglamung Hospital, as Issan woman alleges sedative overdose nearly killed her

PATTAYA: -- Already under fire for alleged negligent treatment of a teenager’s severely broken leg, Banglamung Hospital doctors now are being assailed for nearly killing a Sisaket woman with an overdose of sedatives.

Maneeporn Phukrongthung, 41, contacted media outlets Dec. 13, alleging that a visit for treatment of stomach pain and diarrhea nearly proved fatal when she was tied to her bed, injected with a sedative that plunged her into coma and liver failure. Only a last-ditch transfer back to a Sisaket hospital saved her life, she said.

Having just faced the media four days earlier to defend the hospital’s decision to send home untreated a 17-year-old girl who had suffered a compound leg fracture, Banglamung Hospital Director Narongsak Ekawatnakul again insisted that doctors had done nothing wrong.
