PGH neurosurgeon asks why he was summoned to testify in Thaksin’s case
13 Sept 12:27Key points summarised by AI
PGH neurosurgeon Dr. Chana questioned the Supreme Court regarding his summons to testify on his treatment of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, whose controversial hospital stay avoided prison time.
Discrepancies emerged regarding the medical team's composition, as neurosurgeons and orthopedic specialists treated Thaksin despite his reported heart condition.
Court-submitted medical documents lacked mandatory 'doctor's order notes,' containing only 'progress notes,' raising concerns about standard medical protocols.
Expenditure receipts showed numerous room charges but minimal medication costs, with claims that critical medicines were purchased externally, even during Thaksin's reported critical illness.
