Manoon Makpol
Pattaya’s permanent secretary brought doctors and
social workers to check on a former city civil defense volunteer
paralyzed in a car accident.
Pakorn Sukhonthachat and doctors from Banglamung
Hospital called on Rachan Khantasom June 7 at his home. Also a volunteer
at a local temple, Rachan is completely paralyzed, on a feeding tube and
must have mucus drained by machine from his throat.
Officials from the Social Welfare Department
demonstrated for Rachan’s family various therapy procedures and donated
some money to help cover expenses.
Rachan’s parents qualified for the city’s medical
outreach program as his father is a contractor and mother a food vendor.
Both quit their jobs to tend to their 32-year-old son, leaving them with
no outside income.
