Kate Pang Celebrated Her Birthday In Hospital After Falling Into A Drain ‘Cos She Was Using Her Phone
Thankfully, she’s discharged now, and on the road to recovery.
Okay, let’s be honest. How many of us are guilty of using our phones while walking? Perhaps a quick glance when you hear the familiar ping? For Kate Pang, that moment of distraction led to disastrous consequences, with the 38-year-old taking to her Instagram to share a painful update.
As it turns out, Kate accidentally fell into what appears to be a small drain while walking, ‘cos she’d turned her attention to her phone for just two seconds.
She also thanked a number of bystanders, especially those who were at a nearby elder care centre, who’d rushed to get her patched up so that she could go to the doctor.
(P.S: Slightly gory picture ahead.)
Looks really painful
Kate also shared a picture of her wound, which looked deceptively small, but ended up being so serious that she was hospitalized for surgery.
Ouch. This definitely isn’t how Kate Pang wanted to celebrate her 38th birthday today (March 11). Yes, she walked into a drain the day before her birthday.
“The handsome doctor said that the wound needs three layers of stitches, ‘cos it’s so deep that you can see my bone. Additionally, there’s a chunk of dead flesh inside as well, and it’s a diagonal cut, so it’s more complicated,” Kate writes.
“Post-surgery, the doctor told me that when I woke up after [my anaesthesia wore off], the first thing I said was: 'I haven’t slept so soundly in a long while.' I don’t actually remember saying so, but maybe that’s my subconscious mind voicing out its thoughts,” she continues, adding that she’s been busy with work, taking care of her daughter, Avery, four, as well as managing her new lifestyle platform, MAMADESG.
Kate’s husband, Andie Chen, is currently in Taiwan for work, along with the couple’s son, Aden, six. In a separate post on Instagram, Andie writes: “My wife’s injured, but I’m not there. Many people asked if I was worried. Actually, my heart hurts a little [for her], but I’m not worried. ‘Cos my wife usually treats people very well, and she has loads of friends who love her. To [our] family and friends, thank you for caring for this woman. It’s really a relief that you guys are here.”
The couple also shared that poor Aden was so worried upon hearing that Kate was hospitalised, he burst into tears when Kate video-called Andie and Aden.

Thankfully, it seems that the surgery went well. Kate has been discharged from hospital, and will be recuperating at home for the next couple of days. Take care!
