Apologies | Trump Isn't Racist
It's so tiresome. Pretend everyone on the planet is the same and culture doesn't matter. The same game over and over again. Have you learned nothing at all as an expat? Maybe start paying closer attention to cultures and how they're different and you may learn something. -

Report Thaksin Health Drama: Police General Hospital's Chief Doctor Requests Justice
Picture courtesy of AMARIN TV The chief doctor at Bangkok Police Hospital is fighting back against the decision by the Medical Council to punish doctors involved in the care of Thaksin Shinawatra. Dr. Taweesilp Wetchavitarn has sent his lawyer to the Ministry of Public Health to challenge the council's ruling. The Medical Council had suspended the medical licences of two doctors and issued a warning to a third for admitting Thaksin, the former Prime Minister, under questionable circumstances. Dr. Taweesilp argues that the Medical Council's decision was based on incomplete information, asserting that Thaksin's admission followed regulations due to his specific medical condition. The saga began after the bigwig political figure was transferred from Bangkok Remand Prison's hospital to Police Hospital, where he stayed for six months before being released on parole. The issue revolves around Thaksin not being clinically found "critically ill," contradicting prior public claims. Concerned about his professional reputation, Dr. Taweesilp regards the situation as a personal issue, thus prompting him to dispatch lawyer Mr. Netithorn Lintakul with his appeal. The appeal seeks to overturn the Medical Council's decision, considered damaging and based on insufficient data. The appeal was received by an assistant to the Public Health Minister, Lt. Col. Dr. Thanakrit Chit-areerat, highlighting the high-profile nature of this medical and political conundrum. Minister Somsak Thepsuthin, who also holds a position in the Medical Council, could veto the council's decision. If this happens, a minimum of two-thirds of councillors must agree to uphold any resolutions regarding Thaksin's health conditions. The outcome could influence both medical governance and political narratives in Thailand. As this legal tussle unfolds, the crossroads of politics and healthcare in Thailand is magnified, leaving the nation watching closely. The tug-of-war between asserting medical authority and political influence continues with public and professional ramifications. All eyes are on the next move from the Public Health Ministry, Medical Council, and associated political entities. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-05-14
