Dr. Richard Harris, the Australian anaesthetist pivotal in the Tham Luang cave rescue, lauded the 12 Wild Boars footballers and Thai Navy SEALs as the true heroes for their resilience and morale.
Harris, the last man out of the cave, was responsible for medically clearing each boy and determining their evacuation order, playing an integral role in the complex operation.
Despite his critical role and success, Dr. Harris is mourning the death of his father, who passed away shortly after the successful conclusion of the rescue mission.
A 20-member Australian team, including Dr. Harris and other divers, played a significant part in the Thai-led rescue, with their efforts praised by colleagues and the Australian Prime Minister.
