Docs scramble to treat survivors
IPOH: Doctors and nurses at the emergency ward of the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here scrambled to save lives after the horrific bus crash.
There was blood everywhere on the floor as survivors of the double-decker bus crash near Simpang Pulai were given immediate medical attention.
Victims were being transferred in and out of the critical ward but doctors and medical officers declined to divulge information about the condition of their patients.
There were no family members seen at the mortuary as most of the victims were Thai nationals, whose families had yet to arrive.
Pressmen crowded the front of the mortuary to find out the number of victims involved in the accident.
The list of names of the deceased kept growing every hour as more bodies were identified.
First Secretary to the Royal Thai Embassy in Malaysia, Suwit Mangkhala, expressed his deepest regret over the accident.
He said they were trying to verify the identities of the Thai nationals and inform the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Bangkok.
“The families of victims have been contacting us and they are very worried,” he said, adding that the embassy was doing its best to provide information to the family members.
Iuntnapa Chuchart, 53, who is being warded at the hospital for multiple lacerations on her face, said the group had arrived from Bangkok on Dec 18.
The younger brothers of tour guide Soontorn Kian, 38, arrived at the mortuary at about 10pm.
“We will be taking his body back to our hometown in Alor Setar,” said Prishit Kian, 35, who came from Penang with another brother, Pranom Kian, 25.
