Thai media reported that a 19 year old German man collapsed in an Ao Nang pub at the weekend. 

 

Tourist and immigration police were called and Johannes Amin Leonard Stenger (name transliterated from Thai) was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Travelling companion Aaron Blanc, also 19, from Canada, said that he and the deceased had arrived in Krabi on Thursday. '

 

Mr Blanc said that his friend collapsed in the pub and after shocked patrons recovered their senses he was given CPR outside as the authorities were called. 

 

Sanook reported that police looked in the deceased man's room and found "many kinds of drugs".

These appeared to be pharmaceutical in nature.

 

The body was sent for autopsy to Region 8 in Surat Thani.

 

Police suspect a reaction to taking drugs with alcohol but no cause of death has yet been reported. 

 

They are checking CCTV taken from the area. 

 

The relevant embassy and relatives have been informed.

Let's wait for the story in The Sun or Bild. I am sure someone in Thailand will be blamed.

I'd agree with that. They pay money, they want to see some physical result - in the form of medicine.

In the cases where it's true, they don't want to hear the doctor tell them their ailment will be cured naturally by their own body.

 

Or put all of that another way, 'my friends won't be impressed if I don't come back from the doctor with 3 or 4 or more little zip lock medicine bags with different coloured tablets, pills, capsules etc'.

And the rest is hardly to be identified (as illegal) drugs.

So I wonder if this is just mainly overzealous reporting?

You go to any Pharmacy here in Thailand asking for something for a problem and they will give you a handful of different drugs because this is what Thais do when their sick , i am yet to see my wife just take one tablet for something its usually 2-4 and different types depending on what is wrong . Thai logic if one doesn't work the others will .

Yes and incredibly when asked what the pharmacist gave them, they don't know. Just eat.

Not at all , just reported that various drugs were found in his room, which they were .

I do think that you are just looking for something to complain  about

Some medications, even OTC can have contradictions when used in combination with other drugs, and in some cases can be fatal particularly when consumed with a few alcoholic drinks or he upped the recommend dosage.. 

 

I wonder whether the cocktail of drugs were prescribed by a doctor or recommended by a pharmacist? 

And if these led to his death.. Too young at 19 yrs to suddenly die.. RIP..

My Australian doctor called this a scattergun approach. Where I had used 4 pills for 6 months to cure a rash, he prescribed penicillin and the rash was gone in a week.

Any I've heard a Thai doctor say that they always give 3 or 4 different tablets to patients because if they don't the patient will say they got poor service from the doctor, even ask for more tablets.

 

It's a puzzle.

The doctor is lying. I have thai doctor friends and they are TOLD by the hospital management to prescribe as much as they can because medicine is a huge money maker for the hospitals here. The mark up is extreme and it's easy money for the hospitals as the patients are too afraid to reject the pills.

Your post is nonsense, medicine is a huge money maker for hospitals here?

Absolute nonsense, just back 1 hour ago from the hospital, with medicine for my UTI.

28 pills ( ofoxacin ) bill 142 baht, so how the hell are the hospital making money out of that?

Porters lifted me on a gurney, nurse took a sample of my urine, taken away and tested, doctor prescribed pills porters lifted me back in the pickup.

Now before anybody starts telling me i am wrong, i have the bill in my hand, just need to find out how i can get that on here, if i can i will.
