Thanks for the link, archive.org is a treasure. I'll check it out.
The genre is tropey x 2 (Thai lakorn and organised crime) so medical reality is optional, though this thread is giving me an appreciation for what might happen if I share it publicly and it's read by those outside the genre.

I'll keep in mind to write what we do see, or he recounts later, so those who want to go tropey can read that into it (organised crime having their own doctor/surgeon and avoiding hospitals) and those who need greater realism have room for that too.
