A 70-year-old American man
who was about to die of the corona virus has had to pay 1.1 million in hospital
bills after recovering.
According to the French
news agency AFP, a man named Michael Floor was admitted to a hospital in the
northeastern city on March 4 and remained under treatment for 62 days.
His condition was critical
and as he was about to die, hospital nurses called his family on the phone to
say goodbye to his wife and children.
However, he recovered and
was discharged from the hospital on May 5. The nursing staff handed him a
181-page bill that amounted to 11,22,501 Dollars.
The bill includes 9,736
dollars for a day in an intensive care unit, 490,000 dollars for a 42-day
disinfection room 82,000 dollars for a 29-day ventilator, and another two days when his life was appeared in danger.
According to the American
newspaper Seattle Times, Fleur had free medical treatment under the
government's insurance program, so he did not have to pay out of pocket.
