The Thai football community is mourning the loss of Karn Danai Kingmahasombat, goalkeeper for BFB Pattaya City, who play in the Thai League 3 Eastern region, who has died following injuries sustained in a road crash earlier this week.

 

Karn, affectionately known as “Phum” among teammates and fans, was left in a coma after being struck by a pickup truck whose driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel. The incident occurred near Bueng community market in Sri Racha District, Chonburi Province, which injured 4, all of which needed surgery.

 

Following the accident, Karn was in critical condition and required urgent surgery. An appeal was launched for blood donations of all types, as doctors attempted to stabilise him and transfer him to another hospital for further procedures.

 

However, despite intensive medical efforts, Karn tragically succumbed to his injuries. The news was confirmed in a heartfelt Facebook post by the page “Ban Football,” which read:

“You promised me you’d live to see yourself play in the Thai League. Why did you leave me, Phum? Rest in peace, go be the goalkeeper in heaven. You must have fought with everything you had.”

 

Karn Danai was regarded as a promising talent in Thai football, and his sudden passing has shocked the sporting world. Tributes have poured in across social media, honouring his dedication, skill, and spirit.

Why on earth didn’t they take him to the correct hospital to begin with (that seems to happen here often) and it seems that they do not know his blood type (no medical records kept or available) , so they will just transfuse him with whatever comes through the door first , providing of course that is red..

You are being unfair.   He was taken to Laem Chabang Hospital  a large  comprehensive hospital which can handle basic emergencies.   It was also the closest hospital at approx 10 minutes /5 km away from the collision. The Rescue group who responded followed their usual procedure.

 

What would have been the correct hospital? Depending upon the injuries, he may have been fine at the initial hospital. However, once examined, it may have been discovered he need advanced neurological or surgical intervention. It happens in every major city. Some large cities like  Shanghai, Tokyo cities have designated fully equipped trauma centers. A small city like Pattaya  does not.

 

Why would you expect the  first hospital to know his blood type? It isn't a critical  item and can usually be determined within a few minutes in a hospital. He would not have been given blood until he was assessed which takes time, during which the blood type is verified.

How would they know what the "correct hospital" is before the extent of his injuries are known ?

 

Reads to me like they took him to the closest for immediate urgent treatment and the moved to the other hospital that was equipped to perform specialised treatment/surgery required.
