THE REGION 12 senior medical officer being probed for allegedly causing injuries to a guard, which was widely circulated on social media, has been transferred to the Ministry of Public Health’s academic office. Dr Yorn ChiranakhonJessada insisted that he had never interfered with the police probe nor tried to negotiate on behalf of Yorn. Chainarong said that if Yorn took good care of his brother, he wouldn’t demand any further from the medical officer. Police are now waiting for a medical certificate on the guard’s injuries, Weerachai said. The ministry will launch a disciplinary probe against Yorn if the fact-finding panel deemed it a drinks driving case.
