If doctors are ours, they will be investigated - Police chief
13 Sept 21:15Key points summarised by AI
National police chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet announced that two doctors, if confirmed to be from the Police General Hospital, will face disciplinary investigations following their suspension by the Medical Council.
The Medical Council suspended the doctors for alleged ethical violations related to issuing medical certificates for former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, citing discrepancies with his actual condition.
If found guilty and confirmed as police officers, the doctors could face disciplinary action and potentially criminal charges, stemming from Thaksin's controversial prolonged stay at the hospital which allowed him to avoid prison.
