[semperfiguy]

Just heard that Richard Jensen had a stroke on Friday and is in ICU at Udon Thani General Hospital. The word is he's getting worse. He is on Facebook under Richard Jensen. His stepdaughter is reporting his condition there. The family is seeking help with raising money for his medical expenses. You can donate here:

Who Is He ??

A casual friend that lives in my village. We met when he used to attend some of the Udon Expat Club functions. He rides his bike around the village (Baan San Sa-Ran) most nights, and we have chatted on occasion.

I'd rather not embarrass myself than to donate 50 Baht.

Sorry to see this guy's situation but let's look at reality. If we were to donate to every potless Farang "sad sack" in Udon, with a medical condition, we'd be as broke as he is. These people have made their bed .........!

Sorry if you are offended by the truth and what is a never ending saga here in paradise!
I expect your donation to be MORE than 50 Baht!

Oh ! O.K.

gee , maybe just maybe semperfi posted this as
a kindness . as undoubtably this man may have
had acquaintances unaware of his present state

Yes, SFG seems a decent sort.

Yes, I commend SFG for trying to help an acquaintance. However, I don't see the need for negative comments. If you can't say anything nice, mum's the word.

[Laan Yaa Mo]

It seems his sister and another relation donated 50 baht each.

quite right Mak , feeling self-righteously pleased about something (often something unpleasant that has happened to someone else) is not a nice thing to do. or how SFG would put it .He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished. Proverbs 24:18 . lets hope they guy recovers enough to return to his homeland.

One of the Addicts forum founders has a serious stroke (Andy). Through mostly members donations his hospital bills were paid and there was enough to be able to hire a therapist. He was making progress then had a fatal heart attack. Generosity is good for the soul. Critics should keep their criticisms to themselves.

There but for the Grace of God go I.

I spoke with Richard's stepdaughter tonight for an update on his condition. He can see but he cannot speak. He is paralyzed on his right side, and so far there is no improvement. He is able to move his eyes and follow, and his color is normal. I'm not able to get more details. She said the doctor calls in to check on his condition, so I'm not sure what that means exactly. I understand there is a problem with finances, so perhaps they are not able to do much for him under the circumstances.

[tamada]

Prayers.

Thanks for the update SFG.

Just a thought, how do these seemingly penniless guys get a visa? If we all stuck to the rules no one would ever be in this position.

So if you use an agent, there's a higher risk of getting a stroke?!

I must look that up... where do you suggest I start? The British Medical Journal?

I simply don't see the logic of your reply. To claify my post. the sums of 400 married and retirement 800k are what,presumably calculated by those in power, are what is needed by an applicant to fund a years stay in Thailand.
if you comply with that then you should have money to cover most unfortunate occurences that may happen during that period.If you don't have the required funds and choose to bypass the system in any way, whether by the use of illegal agents or borrowing the money, you willl not have the cushion behind you should bad luck come your way .The chances of needing it are in no way connected to the source of the funds.We all have the same odds of it happening, although I must admit our choice of lifestyle may have an influence.
