Thaivisa News Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Phuket:–Visitors should gradually immerse into the hot spring, a medical director said, reminding about the health risk for heat stroke. Hot spring is safe if visitors allow their body to adjust to the heat, Jessada Chungpaibulpatana of Vachira Phuket Hospital said. Jessada was commenting on a heat stroke patient who is in critical condition at the intensive care unit for about a week. The middle-aged man and his wife from Bangkok paid a visit to the hot spring in Krabi’s Khlong Thom district. The man leapt into the hot water while his wife slowly waded in. She and other visitors had to help him out of the water and rushed him to the hospital. The medical director said the patient has symptoms of heat stroke such as kidney failure, liver failure and poor blood circulation. What happened to the patient was like an egg quickly dropped into boiling water, he said. He said the patient has been on anti-biotic drugs aimed at reviving the internal organs to function again. But his condition is still critical and requires intensive care, he said. In Phrae, four people died of heat stroke yesterday as the temperature soared to 39.4 degree Celsius, police said. In Ayutthaya, police found a construction worker dead at his camp site. Witnesses said the worker was drinking heavily in hot weather before he suffered a shock and died. In SuphanBuri, police reported that a mason died of heat stroke while trying to repair a house under the strong sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Phuket news? News at all? I suppose the spokesperson works at Vachira so there's a spurious reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
