Bangkok: Dr. Thanakrit Chittrareerat recently took to social media to express his frustration, posting a picture and message declaring that he could no longer tolerate the ongoing situation. This public outcry comes in the wake of a significant decision by Police Lieutenant General Dr. Taweesilp Vejvitarn, Chief Medical Officer of the Police Hospital, who has chosen to resign from government service to pursue justice on his own terms.
According to Thai News Agency, Dr. Taweesilp's resignation is a direct response to recent developments surrounding his professional standing. The Medical Council's decision to suspend his medical license, linked to the treatment of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra on the 14th floor, has prompted Dr. Taweesilp to take legal action. In a bold move, he has decided to proceed with a trial at the 14th court level, signaling his determination to challenge the accusations and clear his name.
The situation escalated after Dr. Taweesilp was reassigned to assist with duties at the Royal Thai Police Operations Center, effectively removing him from his previous role. This reassignment has been seen by some as a punitive measure, pushing Dr. Taweesilp to take legal steps to defend his reputation and career. Both civil and criminal agencies are expected to become involved as the case progresses, setting the stage for a complex legal battle.
