A Thai woman is rallying for justice after a doctor at Saraburi Hospital in central Thailand left a broken drill bit inside her leg during surgery more than six years ago, taking away her ability to walk and causing her years of unbearable pain.
Yesterday, the Social Justice Campaign Network took 57 year old Chantra Wutthiyanan, in a wheelchair, to present a letter to the Ministry of Public Health demanding justice for gross negligence.
The victim, Chantra, said she had a car accident in 2016 and was treated at Saraburi Hospital. Doctors performed surgery to put seven metal splints in Chantra’s leg.
In 2017, Chantra underwent surgery at Saraburi Hospital to have the metal splints removed from her leg. After the surgery, the hospital did not arrange any follow-up appointments to assess her recovery, said Chantra.
