Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- Several patients, who had been deadly injured by the explosion at Ryongchon Railway Station, have miraculously resuscitated at the Kim Man Yu Hospital in Pyongyang. They were at critical conditions on May 12 when they were brought to the hospital.
At that time Kim Myong Song, 14, was suffering from brain contusion, cranial bones fracture, hepatorrhexis, pronephros bruise, blood poisoning and respiratory insufficiency. His breathing had ceased in the plane.
Han Chol, 9, was also badly hurt so that it was considered almost impossible for him to recover from brain prolapse and contusion. And Choe Song Hyon, 29, Pak Chol Jin, 8, Kim Myong Suk, 39, Kim Jong Kuk, 28, were also at the jaw of death.
The hospital instantly formed a medical team with 30 competent doctors including Ri Tong Chun, vice-director of the hospital in charge of surgery department.
They had more than 30 hospital-wide consultative meetings and took emergency steps to treat the patients. They also had some 10 consultative meetings with famous doctors from the Red Cross General Hospital of Korea, the Hospital of Pyongyang University of Medicine and the Hospital of Kim Hyong Jik Military Medical University.
Doctors and staff members of the hospital have shown all their sincerity to treat them by combining all means of modern medicine with traditional Koryo medicine.
Officials of the Ministry of Public Health and other national institutions, industrial establishments and Pyongyang citizens have rendered sincere assistance to the hospital for their treatment.
Three patients are now in convalescence and Choe Song Hyon, who could not move owing to spinal injury and the paralysed lower part of his body, can now stand up by himself without others' help.
The medical team is doing its best to cure all the patients.
