50 people still hospitalised



The Public Health Ministry announced yesterday that besides the two men who succumbed to wounds sustained during clashes between residents and red-shirt protesters in the Nang Lerng area of Bangkok, 121 people were injured during Monday's violence.

Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai told a press conference that 71 of the wounded had been treated and discharged, while 50 others were still being treated in nine hospitals.

Six of the injured are in Rajvithee Hospital, 10 in Ramathibodi Hospital, 15 in Veteran Hospital, three in Mission Hospital, four in Hua Chiew Hospital, five in Klang Hospital, five in Pra Mongkut Hospital, and one each in Vajira and Police General hospitals.

Two people being treated at Rajvithee Hospital are suffering from serious wounds, while one patient at Ramathibodi Hospital is on life support. Rajvithee Hospital director Dr Warunee Jinarat identified the two seriously injured men as 40-year-old Sawai Tong-Aom and 31-year-old Vichian Kheedklang.

Sawai, who sustained a bullet injury in his left armpit, had gone into shock from the loss of blood. However, he is now out of danger.

Vichian, who was shot in both thighs, was transferred to Rajvithee from Mission Hospital on Monday night and his condition improved after he underwent surgery.

Warunee added that the hospital had also received 16-year-old Titikorn Khamchom from Hua Chiew Hospital on Monday night.

Titikorn was shot in the stomach. He is showing signs of recovery.
