Teen's Skull Smashed At Resort

[Ecoman1949]

he received appropriate medical care! As far as a discarded skull, I do not know what you speak of.

A piece of his skull was removed to relieve the pressure on his swelling brain. The piece of skull was lost/discarded by the surgical staff. He had pneumonia but that wasnt diagnosed by the medical staff. The medical care he received was far from appropriate. Reread the updates.

I am sure he lost some blood and will have a scar as well. Hopefully he fully recovers from the attack. I am inclined to blame the criminal who attacked him, not the medical staff that saved his life.

No argument from me that the savage who attacked him bears responsibility for the damage to his head. The private hospital also bears responsibility for questionable medical practices that increased the patients risk of recovery. As one poster noted, DR private hospitals have a reputation for their head trauma treatment not ending well.

Curious, do we know for certain about these accusations against the clinic/hospital? I have not read the news articles about this, are there links to this?

head trauma treatment never ends well in the entire world. In what country would they have treated him and not given him a large bill? Congo?

The usual rude reply from you. What is false about what I said?

The Toronto Star article notes the mother’s concern about the missing skull piece and the missed pneumonia diagnosis. The mother also stated in previous updates that treatment was delayed pending confirmation of proper medical insurance.

Another Canadian family death while staying at a DR resort is in the news today. They stayed at a Wyndham Resort and the mother and one child died of food poisoning. The husband and other child survived. What’s interesting is their lawsuit claiming no assistance rendered and improper food preparation is filed against Wyndham International Canada and AirTransat who supplied the vacation package. Not directly against the resort in the DR. Interesting go around and I suspect one Wyndham and AirTransat will want to settle quickly.

erroneous info. No non-resident can show up in an Emergency room in Canada or the U.K, have brain surgery and not get a bill.

Australia, New Zealand, France to name a few more. Like you, not sure about the Congo.

The patient gets treated first regardless. The host country then submits claims for reimbursement of expenses from the patients country. Certain countries with socialized medical systems have reciprocity agreements in place. There are limits on coverages.

Good job Ecoman, you turned this informative thread about a young man that got attacked and survived into an attack on the health care system, kudos.

No. The mother is attacking the DR private hospital system. I’m echoing what she said. Stay focused!

Of course the mother is angry. Her son was almost killed. Unless you have a medical background in trauma care you are just expressing a misguided opinion. Lets hope that the lad completely recovers, returns to the D.R and testifies against the thug. For every person that has had a bad medical experience here, there are countless that have experienced excellent outcomes.
