Blood is a liquid tissue that transports oxygen, important materials and heat around the body. However, when it was given to Pha Sutha, it brought her back to life. Like other elderly people, she suffers from fatigue and loss of appetite and when she went to the doctor, it was revealed that she had a low red blood cell count.
Two days later, she vomited blood and an emergency van rushed to pick her up. She was sent to a provincial hospital where it was found she had massive bleeding due to gastric varices. Since the doctor had to find donated blood to help her, he asked his patient s niece Pachayanun Somkaew to look for donors because blood supplies are critically low.
