And????

That's what we know.

 

You said we don't know much,

but that is what we know.

 

I'm just pointing out FACTS, you see???

 

Something that you clearly don't like!

Facts ????
WHAT FACTS ?

A story in a Brit Tabloid that specialises in selling "vacation horror stories" and was NOT reported in ANY local media is your "facts" ?

Gahd - no wonder this world is in such poor shape.

Yet another GoFundMe. Horrible for the family and the guy. Shame on the Russians once again acting like careless a-holes. However, I have never heard of an insurance, that must be confirmed by the victim?

What difference does it make about the go fund me? It bit just your preset sentence.

you are not forced to send money, they're mainly aimed at friends and family, you might be grateful one day, if you have freinds that is

As someone who is in the process of a travel insurance claim, the claim cannot be made unless you know who the person was insured by. When they cannot communicate, that adds the immediate complication. 
 

Anyone relying on travel insurance would because to ensure someone not travelling with them/next of kin etc has details of their insurance. 
 

Until you find out, it’s a nightmare, then the claim process starts, and, trust me, that isn’t rapid by any measure.

yes indeed but what sort of insurance did the Russian have ?, a lot of these accidents are caused by reckless driving by one party yet they never seem liable to pay or invoke their 3rd party liability insurance 

 

I see no need currently for a GFM effort, it should not be difficult to ascertain his insurance details from his documentation or booking details

 

nevertheless I hope he makes a speedy recovery 

yes indeed but what sort of insurance did the Russian have ?...Probably NONE !!

Are you a doctor?

Doctor, no. And cleary you are not either.

However I've been a trained Emergency First Aid attendant (Level A) since I was 17 and during basic training my nickname actually was "Doc"  (still tattooed on my arm) as I knew more than the instructors teaching us First Aid.

Not to mention having been in the hospital (for operations) a couple times myself.

Here's a clue - "multiple skull fractures and bleeding on the brain" - yet no IV's connected and the "family member" is wiping his (unbandaged) head with a cloth. Riiiggghhhttt.

But in another photo (in the DailyMail) - the same people around him but suddenly he has an IV, a hand in a bag, oxygen tube in the nose.

But LOOK at the hospital bed. Notice anything funny about it ?

Like how it says "Paramount" on the end ?
You know - "Paramount Healthcare Services" - in the UK !


This is the exact same bed.

Yeah - get a brain. Seriously.

I was admitted last year to get minor wrist surgery and they had IVs and tubes stuck everywhere.
Same when I went in for shoulder surgery 6 years ago. Spent 3 days in the hospital with IVs hooked up even though I was concious and walking around and eating. Sheesh, I had 3 small incisions in my shoulder and the amount of bandaging they had on it made me look like a hunchback.

And yes, the local media literally DO report pretty much ANY incident involving a foreigner. Especially one as serious as this, with Russians supposedly arrested as well.

Here's another clue.

LOOK at the guy in the bed.

Now LOOK at the pics of the guy who is in an airport and the one of him under a tree.

Literally the only resemblance is they both have "5 day beards".
The guy in the hospital bed looks 15 years younger than the other guy.

But hey - like I said for the last few stories like this.

Surely some of you live in Phuket and can go to the hospital and take some flowers to the guy ?

From the sounds of it, there should be a dozen Brits in the Phuket hospital right now.

And no - you do not have to be a family member or on a list to go see someone.

And if you try that excuse I'll know your full of it. I've visited people - and had people visit me - and never had anyone turned away or been told there's a "list" of who can or can't visit someone.

But I'm not the one doubting doctors' medical diagnoses as though you are!

Sounds he has at least got travel insurance - that's good

...Ricky was unable to confirm his insurance status due to the extent of his injuries.

Why is his insurance details not kept with his passport?  I carry my passport and private medical insurance details everywhere that I go, and have dog-tags around my neck with these and NoK details in English, Thai, Lao and Burmese!

Rather than stay in an expensive private hospital, perhaps he could move to a government hospital. It is often the same doctors, just a different price.
