With the “dangerous days” of the New Year’s holiday upon them, nurses and doctors at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya hosted a brush-up lesson on emergency medical treatment for the region’s medical professionals.
BHIP Director Siharaj Lohachitranon opened the Dec. 15 seminar on treating victims of road accidents and other emergencies.
More than 100 doctors and support staffers from various Chonburi hospitals listened as Dr. Somprasong Thongmeesri, director of the trauma surgery at Chonburi Hospital went through procedures on how to treat patients hurt in road wrecks, by drunk drivers, in fires and other mishaps.
The week surrounding New Year’s Day is known as the “seven dangerous days” and accounts for thousands of road injuries and deaths.
Siharaj said BHP is prepared to handle emergency situations at all times, especially during New Year’s. Doctors and support staff are often called in for training and guided on how to handle such situations and prepare equipment.
Apart from that, the hospital has joined Banglamung Police, Pattaya Tourist Police and the Sawang Boriboon Foundation Pattaya to coordinate in any critical accident situation.
