Still struggling to accept the loss "Teacher Sai" Deeply saddened by the loss "Husband" While affirming the case will proceed through the legal process
Regarding the case "Teacher Sai" posted a tearful video calling for justice after her husband felt sudden stabbing pain from his finger to his left chest, sweating profusely and was taken to the hospital, but the doctor refused to perform an ECG, diagnosing anxiety and sending him home. Before the day ended, he collapsed and died. The autopsy revealed blockage in two coronary arteries, sparking widespread online discussion as previously reported.(The hospital is investigating the issue of "doctor neglecting patient" which resulted in death, and has now suspended the involved doctor.)
On 18 July 2026, it was reported that at Bamphen Nuea Temple, Sala 10, where the funeral rites for Mr. Panupon Meesuk (the deceased) are being held for five days from 18 to 22 July 2026, with cremation scheduled for 23 July 2026 at 16:00.
When asked, Teacher Sai, wife of Mr. Panupon, said her husband experienced numbness from his fingertips spreading to his shoulder and chest tightness while at work. A colleague took him to the hospital, and she followed. Upon arrival, she explained his chest tightness and medical history, including hyperlipidemia. Her husband confirmed his pain had changed and described it radiating to his chest. She was asked if he had any chronic conditions and replied that he had high cholesterol and fat levels. The internal medicine doctor reviewed the history but said treatment would proceed only after blood and cholesterol tests, which could not be done because he had just eaten bread that morning.
He was then sent to an orthopedist, who suggested it might be a bone issue and recommended treating that first to determine the cause. However, the orthopedist, after reviewing the chart, said he was indeed ill but advised seeing internal medicine because the chest tightness was unrelated to orthopedics. Finally, he was taken to a general practitioner who performed no examination, not even using a stethoscope.
She believed it was a heart condition based on symptoms and online research, but they accused her of being hysterical, saying she knew more than the doctors. She warned that if it was an emergency and he went home, what would happen? They replied the chance was very low. They pointed at her husband, calling him normal but mentally ill, suggesting he be isolated briefly to recover, then sent him home without medication or treatment.
After leaving the hospital around noon, they tried another hospital in the afternoon, but it was too late because the hospital opened around 4 to 5 pm, and her husband died around 4 pm.
She filed a complaint because she wanted to know the cause; she was certain it was heart disease, which was confirmed by the autopsy showing two blocked coronary arteries. She had asked for an ECG but was refused and couldn't understand why. The complaint was filed and the body sent to the forensic institute in Ratchaburi. The case will follow legal procedures to see what happens next.
She said they must trust the law. Whether officials or citizens, if they break the law, they must be dealt with. The law is above everyone. If the doctor admits fault, she would consider a settlement, but she questions whether he truly knows his mistake or only realizes it because of social pressure. That is her question, because when she pleaded, they said she was hysterical. That is the question.
