SQ321 was on its approach from London to Singapore, and was  , over the Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar when , “rapid” G- power shifts wreaked havoc in the house. The plane’s roof was thrown up before falling back to earth, causing the passengers and crew to fall.  ,
One American traveler, Mr Geoff Kitchen, 73, died on board, possible because of a heart attack, while another suffered brain and spinal cord injury.  ,
The day after the tragedy, 58 people were warded in three facilities, including 20 individuals in the ICU.
At that time, five Singapore from the aircraft, including two in ICU, were receiving therapy in Thailand.
CNA understands that Mr Bobby Chin, a former part of the , Council of Presidential Advisers,  , was hospitalised in Bangkok, but is comfortably back in Singapore.
One person, good Singaporean, was also warded in Bangkok Hospital as of 12pm on Jun 5, according to a blog on Samitivej Hospital’s Twitter site. Two Singapore were originally warded in that doctor, according to an earlier update.
According to Dr. Saran, none of the patients who are still warded in Thailand are ICU patients.  ,
” I assume that maybe a week or not more than two weeks from now, the ( patients ), all of them, can… go back home”, he said.
LONG- Word EFFECTS
In the first 24 hours after arriving in Bangkok, nine of the patients who received treatment at Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital needed disaster surgery.
One person had to have multiple therapies because the victim’s symptoms changed after the initial procedure, making this case the most challenging one at the hospital.
It is “hard to say” whether patients may experience long-term results like numbness or chronic pain, according to Dr. Saran.
” We have some technology, some models that can support and help the person to go back to have normal life activities as ( they had ) previously”, he said.
He claimed that none of the patients had a perfect spinal cord injury.
In such a scenario, there would be” no way to go back”.
A perfect injuries, as defined by the website of Johns Hopkins Medicine, means that the body is not moving or feeling below the injury’s level.  ,
