BANGKOK - In what is being hailed as a major medical and cultural breakthrough, doctors at Samitivej Hospital have miraculously saved a man’s face, 23 days after he lost it in an argument with his wife.

The success of the marathon 16-hour surgery will give hope to the millions around the world who have suddenly or unexpectedly lost face and failed to regain it in the hours, days or even years since, as well as to those who suffer from habitual face loss.

The groundbreaking surgery may also have a significant cultural and psychological impact, especially in Asia, where the World Health Organization estimates that more than 40 percent of men and women live their entire lives in fear of losing face.

Thailand has long been known as a leader in face loss prevention. By teaching its youth to never question authority and hierarchy, to avoid confrontation and embarrassment at all costs, and to never stick out from the crowd, Thailand has reduced face loss to record lows in the past two decades. But now, Samitivej’s medical breakthrough will also make the country a pioneer in face loss treatment and recovery.

The successful patient, Anuchai Witinasachawik, a 45-year-old accountant from Bangkok, checked in to Samitivej yesterday morning complaining of anxiety. Further examination by doctors revealed that he was suffering from “extreme sulkiness, bouts of passive aggressive behavior, such as the silent treatment, and unannounced, unexplained absences from work” – all classic symptoms of face loss.

Further probing by doctors revealed that three weeks ago, at a dinner party he hosted, he had had an argument with his wife over where they had vacationed during Songkran 2002. After calling his wife a “buffalo” in front of shocked colleagues, Anuchai reportedly stormed off to prove he “was right.” Looking through an old photo album, he was shocked to discover that they had, in fact, gone to Phu Kradung as his wife had said.

Having pinpointed the cause of Anuchai’s face loss, doctors began with laser surgery, removing the emotional scarring associated with the argument, and then eliminating the brain cells containing both his memories of that night and his tendency toward over-sensitivity. Finally, using cutting-edge facial reconstruction techniques, doctors implanted a permanent smile of Anuchai’s face.

“His face is 100 percent saved,“ doctors announced. “He can return to his wife and workplace and function like a normal, emotionally healthy adult instead of a child. What’s more, it is highly unlikely he will ever lose face again because he will always be smiling.”

ROFL... the article's hilarious.

This is like a Thai/Falang version of The Chaser (an Aussie satire show)

Pissyboy, while your view may or may not be correct, it is totally irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the subject I have posted about. I have never posted anything about murders, as I made very clear. I have posted about homicides, which are a different thing entirely - to simplify the explanation, as i seems beyond you, all murders are homicides but not all homicides are murders, in the same way that all elephants are animals but not all animals are elephants.

Some statistics even on "homicides" are misleading as they only include those where a court found that that there was a deliberate intention to kill rather than to injure and consequently also exclude those deemed to be "accidents".

If you are so proud of your CV, why not post it here as I have suggested?

Go Fuckyourself - No problem with the CV - send me your and I will post them together..Oh...I forgot, you were a pretty important guy and want to be hush hush..right...were you in the OSS during the war? maybe MI6 or something? in an Ian Fleming novel with James Bond...well hush hush.

The stats you quote are not even in the UN report they are are from a different source. Posing from the internet without understanding what you are posting..tsk tsk.

Hang on I thought Murders were subsets of Homicides ...you just said above that they different thing entirely. Now how stupid is that?
You may try to give the impression that you read the UN 'book' on crime stats and that you are reporting this from you reading of the material. - OK - I will give you the benefit of the doubt. What is the ISBN number of the book? What is the publication information? Sorry, it is clear you read a blurb on the internet and don't really know what the numbers mean but can not admit that without loooking even more stupid. Silly silly man.

It is fine to quarrel about muder. But as a college professor you know the difference between AD REM and AD PERSONAM argumentation. This board is for men. Shot in the neck, to speak with our gun nuts. The honor of the American college professor is at stake! Mind your manners, be a good kitty boy, and I will sing a song for you.

Ah...just having a bit of fun. We are on summer break and there are fewer cute boys around to distract me.
Sigh....What will you sing? Seranade me with a song of sweet love... :)
