The former prime minister’s treatment at Police General Hospital ( PGH) during his jail term has been the subject of a letter from the Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand ( NSPRT ) and the Dharma Army to the Medical Council.
NSPRT head Pichit Chaimongkol argued that health conditions can be clinically verified and do not need to be deliberated for a while before the council could make its findings regarding Thaksin’s disease and treatment.
Additionally, Mr. Pichit requested evidence from Thaksin, because without it, the case may be viewed as incomplete and involving all parties.
Due to the surrender of more documents from the PGH and the Medical Correctional Institution, Mr. Pichit criticized the Medical Council’s delay in resolving the issue, which had originally been scheduled for April 10.
He noted that this might be a ploy to consciously wait proceedings, particularly since Thaksin’s reported health problems can be quickly and clearly verified by medical information.
In addition to Mr. Pichit’s inquiries, the question was whether Thaksin was really suffering from a critical situation and had it diagnosed at the Medical Correctional Institution.
He also questioned Thaksin’s registration for a particular parole that was granted for health reasons, including claims that he couldn’t dress himself.
According to Mr. Pichit, a child’s ability to take care of themselves needs to be assessed over time rather than just one day, and that Thaksin’s recent public appearances do not fit the profile of a critical person.
When asked if the NSPRT may take the mayor’s last selection, Mr. Pichit suggested that the general public would find it acceptable if the locating was supported by scientific evidence.
