Two still critical from Hat Yai blasts
Four victims of the bombs in Hat Yai on Sunday night had been allowed to go home, while nine oth¬ers remained in hospital, Public Health Minister Mongkol na Songkhla said Monday.
Two of the injured were in a crit¬ical condition: an elderly man still in a coma, and a 20yearold male with severely injuries to internal organs. Mongkol, who visited the vic¬tims yesterday with senior officials, said six men, four women and three children were injured by the blasts. Four were allowed to go home, while nine others remained in four hospitals. Kin Panrattanawadi, 8, Chang Saekwang, 24, and a man called Songtham Asawatangcharoen were treated at Ratyindee, Songkhlanakarin and KrungthepHat Yai hospitals respectively. All were safe. Two of six people treated at Hat Yai Hospital were critical. Suchat Saetang, 60, was in the intensive care unit after sustaining serious brain damage from bomb frag¬ments, but doctors will not oper¬ate on him until his condition has stabilised. The second critical patient, Niwat Chuchat, 20, underwent a fivehour surgery and was given 12 units of blood after bomb frag¬ments pierced his liver, pancreas and intestines. Mongkol said four others were safe and should be released short¬ly. They were Suree Phokharat, 46, Worawit Saengthavee, 14, Eujuang Saetang, 57, and Aksorn Senakhochawong, 30.
