- Veteran comedian Jaturong Mokjok hospitalized urgently after three days of severe lower abdominal pain.
- Doctors diagnosed him with diverticulitis instead of his initial suspicion of appendicitis.
- He is required to stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days and undergo a complete food fast.
Fans and followers were left concerned after veteran Thai comedian Jaturong Mokjok shared an update on social media revealing his sudden hospitalization after experiencing severe physical discomfort that left him unable to endure it any longer.
He recounted that the ordeal began with mild lower abdominal pain that gradually worsened over a span of three days. By Sunday morning, his body gave out, forcing him to walk hunched over to seek medical attention at the hospital.
"To the point of entering the tunnel, lower abdominal pain for 3 days, from mild to severe until yesterday (Sunday) waking up my body really said it couldn't take it anymore, walking hunched over, so we took our (thought-to-be) strong body to the hospital."

Initially self-diagnosing his condition as appendicitis, he was quickly corrected once examined by medical professionals who performed physical checks and blood tests, proving that his own medical assumptions were off the mark.
Diverticulitis, the condition diagnosed in this case, occurs when small pouches in the wall of the large intestine become inflamed or infected. Standard medical treatment often involves bowel rest, which includes restricting oral food intake and providing intravenous fluids or antibiotics to allow the digestive tract to heal properly.
Following a computed tomography scan, commonly referred to by the comedian as entering the tunnel, the results confirmed diverticulitis. This requires a two to three-day hospital stay and, much to his dismay, a strict order to abstain from all food during this period.

Despite his humorous internal reaction to the strict three-day fasting requirement, he ultimately accepted the doctor's orders for a swift recovery and kindly requested well-wishers not to visit the hospital as he needs time to rest.
