Sunday 17/11/24 in the afternoon, in the Rambam intensive care unit, Chachai, a Thai citizen who was mortally wounded near Matula by a rocket hit near Matula, was able to do two things for the first time: breathe and smile. Chachai Sintrasuat, 36 years old, a foreign worker in agriculture was the only survivor of a serious incident in which Omer Weinstein of Kibbutz Dafna and four other workers from Thailand were killed two weeks ago by a rocket.
Cha'chai himself was closer to death - he was listed in critical condition with a fatal injury to the carotid artery that bled profuse amounts of blood. He received dozens of blood transfusions in the plantation where he was injured, in the IDF helicopter that evacuated him to Rambam, and in the shock room where he arrived when he was pronounced dead. In addition to the neck injury, he suffered shrapnel injuries throughout his upper body and crushed legs.
Rambam's experienced trauma doctors who had seen hundreds of seriously injured people in their professional lives gave Chachai little chance of survival, and even less chance of regaining full consciousness after his brain suffered from such extreme blood loss. But a healthy man's body was lucky and after emergency surgery he slowly improved In intensive care, sedated and ventilated. Yesterday the doctors came to the conclusion that he was able to breathe on his own, they pulled the breathing tube from his throat with the arrival of Saiphon, his devoted wife who was flown to Israel with the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Insurance and the Thai Embassy in Israel Tsai, who had not yet been informed of the fatal tragedy and the loss of his friends - smiled.
A real miracle. Well done everyone. A great effort by everyone managed to cure him. Speedy recovery to Chaichai.
