Revered monk to remain in hospital
Doctors at the Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital said yesterday that Luang Phor Koon Paritsutho, who was admitted late Tuesday night, would remain in hospital for a week.
Cardiovascular expert Dr Pinitjai Nakphan said the monk suffered from hiccups and phlegm, which might be a result of bronchitis, though Xrays showed nothing abnormal in his lungs, abdomen or heart. The monk is making a steady recovery, though he would not be allowed any visitors, he said. The abbot of Wat Ban Rai developed acute bronchitis on June 6 and was in hospital for two weeks before he was discharged on June 15.
