Medical facility acknowledges wrong blood type transfusion error in accident victim's care, involving concrete mixing incident.
Rewritten Article:
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a man named Amnat Thongkham, aged 46, met his demise due to a tragic accident involving a falling concrete slab on Rama II Road in Samut Sakhon province. The incident left him with a ruptured liver and extreme internal bleeding, ultimately claiming his life on Tuesday night.
The unfortunate incident took place when Amnat was driving his pickup truck. Two massive chunks of concrete tumbled from the 30-year-old Mahachai-Krathumbaen flyover, causing severe injuries.
Rumors have been circulating about an alleged mistake during Amnat's treatment at the hospital. It's alleged that the hospital erroneously administered the wrong blood type—Blood Type A, despite Amnat having Blood Type B.
Dr. Thanakrit Jitareerat, an assistant to the Public Health Minister, verified the hospital's error in a recent statement and assured that the Ministry of Public Health was investigating the matter.
Upon arrival at the hospital in a critical condition after losing an excessive amount of blood, Amnat required immediate treatment. According to standard protocol, Type O blood—compatible with all blood types—should have been administered. However, due to a shortage, his medical team resorted to using Blood Type B. A lab error subsequently misidentified it as Type A.
Dr. Thanakrit emphasized that the investigation would first scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the falling concrete incident before addressing the hospital's treatment-related errors and the blood type mix-up.
"The priority is to unravel the cause of the concrete falling," he stated emphatically. "Once the facts are clear, we will engage with the hospital regarding their treatment-related errors."
Upon his arrival at Mahachai Hospital, Amnat was transferred to Vibharam Samut Sakhon Hospital and then to the better-equipped Samut Sakhon Hospital. The Rama II Road project's delayed intercity expressway has a history of accidents, with fragments of the structure falling on passing vehicles, causing injuries and fatalities.
Recently, on April 4, another pickup truck driver suffered injuries after a falling crane incident. The prolonged construction and safety concerns on Rama II Road continue to draw criticism.
Although allegations of a blood type mix-up during treatment are making headlines, the search results do not reveal any concrete evidence supporting these claims as of May 2-3, 2025. The construction firm overseeing the project has pledged to investigate the incident and cover medical expenses, but no findings about negligence or safety lapses have been made public.
- The ruptured liver and internal bleeding suffered by Amnat Thongkham, as a result of a car accident involving a falling concrete slab, were unfortunately not treatable due to a confirmed error in blood type administration at the hospital.
- Medical-conditions, such as internal bleeding and general-news topics like accidents and health-and-wellness, are often intertwined, as demonstrated in the tragic case of Amnat Thongkham.
- Throughout his treatment at Mahachai Hospital, Vibharam Samut Sakhon Hospital, and finally Samut Sakhon Hospital, Amnat Thongkham battled a series of medical-conditions exacerbated by a types-related mistake in blood-type administration.
- Despite rumors and allegations suggesting a blood-type mix-up during his treatment, no concrete evidence has confirmed these claims as of May 2-3, 2025.
- The lasting impact of the Rama II Road project, with repeated instances of car-accidents caused by falling debris, and the recent controversy surrounding Amnat Thongkham's treatment, serve as stark reminders of the necessity for improved safety measures in infrastructure projects and the importance of adhering to medical protocols in health-and-wellness situations.
