We are hoping that members here might assist;
We have a good friend who is visiting Phuket and has become gravely unwell after 2 heart attacks these last days.
He needs (an unplanned) triple bypass, but he has an extremely rare blood group (O-negative) and there are only between 3 to 5 units (some imported from Singapore this last week) in the whole of Thailand. Not enough for the vascular surgeons in to even consider this surgery.
He is currently in The Bangkok Phuket Hospital and we could use some help regarding blood donations and who and where to ask for assistance regarding asking for further help finding blood donations (very rare O-neg) regarding this.
If you could spread this message, the patient reference is Mr Rupert Guy Barrett, care of Bangkok, Phuket Hospital and he may be in with a chance if any group members have or know somebody that has the rare blood group O Negative and might consider donating blood.
By all means, PM me if you would prefer.
Thank you in advance for any assistance. 🙏
