Including all the procedures for resuscitating Ms. Netiporn. The Inspector General of the Department of Corrections and the Director of the Correctional Institution of the Correctional Hospital are still confused and give inconsistent information. For example, during the first period the inspectors Said that Ms. Netiporn's vital signs were not found, so she gave her a heart-stimulating injection. But later the doctor gave information that Have weak vital signs The inmate, who was trained as a nursing assistant, received CPR on the bed until vital signs returned.

When one person went to the bathroom, the hospital director gave new information that Tawan himself was measuring his blood pressure as well.

But if something happens that results in death, there is no doctor who can save life. Even Ms. Thitiporn her self had already made legal arrangements in advance. Because we are committed to an ideology and we cannot touch anything. We can save lives. But the events after that are understandable. As for the protection We have tried our best to send psychologists to convince us. But if he insists until the incident occurs My body can't stand it anymore. Corrections can do their best. That is, send it to a doctor for treatment only. As for wanting to change your mind, you can't do it. It's difficult. If the body reaches the point where it cannot be taken care of then it is difficult. Even an angel doctor can't help. Source: Thai News Agency
