THE Thai navy quickly sent an emergency medical team on a boat to an Indian ship, a tanker named Sea Galaxy, and brought one of their sailors who had suffered stroke as it was passing through the Gulf of Thailand to Sattahip, Chonburi, for treatment last night, TV Channel 7 said early this morning (Apr. 12).
The Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Centre Region 1, hotline number 1465, had got a call from the Indian tanker to help their sailor, Mr. Fernandes Thomson, 48, also an Indian, as he was paralysed all over after suffering a stroke but was still conscious.
The Thai maritime command centre sent their naval boat, Tor. 266, with an emergency medical team from Aphakorn Kiatttiwong Hospital located at Sattahip naval base to bring the ailing sailor ashore. The boat left Laem Thian port at this base at 9.15 p.m. to meet the Indian tanker in the middle of the sea.
Upon returning to the naval base, the Indian sailor was quickly rushed to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for medical treatment.
