A Life Healing Hearts, Lost to Reckless Roads 🍋

A Thai-born cardiologist who spent 50 years practicing in the U.S. tragically passed away in Thailand after being hit by a speeding pickup truck 🚑

He had returned for a medical alumni reunion and volunteer work in the South. Just one day before flying back, while preparing to board a van in Hua Hin, he was struck. His heart stopped—but was revived.

Despite efforts to transfer him to Bangkok, internal injuries and broken ribs made it impossible. His condition worsened: kidney failure, infections, and gradual organ shutdown.

His children flew in from the U.S. to see him, spending hundreds of thousands of baht on last-minute tickets ✈️ Eventually, after consulting with doctors and family, his wife made the heartbreaking decision to end treatment.

One elderly woman, nearly 90, traveled from Ayutthaya to say goodbye. She had once been treated by him in America two decades ago ❤️

Even as his organs failed, his heart kept beating—slowly, steadily—until it finally stopped.

He spent his life healing hearts. And in the end, it was a reckless moment on a Thai road that took his own.

This wasn’t “bad luck.” It was preventable.

If you drive, please be more careful. The person in front of you might be someone’s whole world. 🛣️
