Sir/Mam could you kindly indicate why your treatment was a joke? Did a Physician examine you, do a receptionist or nurse triage you? greet you and check you in. Or are you saying it's a joke because it is expensive?

Tourist held hostage at Punta Cana hospital
Dominican love the IV"s. They all say - Mira, suero, suero!, and nod knowingly that the person will get better now. Most of the time it's nothing more than a saline solution with B vitamins to rehydrate the person and it doesn't come out until they've paid.
20 years on the island..2 cancer operations, one back from the dead experience and multiple visits to hospitals in Punta Cana, La Romana and Santo Domingo. Often spent the last few days of recovery IV drip free.
What if the woman does not pay. Will she stay in that hospital for the rest of her life?
How long before the province of Quebec organizes a hostage rescue team and they go in?
No the government of Canada is too busy trying to roll out its new cigarette labeling where each cigarette will have a printed warning on the paper.How long before the province of Quebec organizes a hostage rescue team and they go in?
Like "Poison in Every Puff" and "Cirgarettes Damage Your Organs" and it will be in French and English, so the morons who smoke don't have to translate.
You think they will stop to read them ?
At least they are trying to keep people out of their hospitals.....
The Canadian government has a long and storied history ignoring their peoples plights while travelling abroad. Look back to the airplane crew being locked up for reporting on a cocaine shipment.How long before the province of Quebec organizes a hostage rescue team and they go in?
My question about if Canada would get involved was a joke. There is no way a foreign government should intercede when such stupidity is involved. People should realize when they travel they are dependent upon the laws and regulations where they are and not expect to be rescued by their home nanny states.
For all we know, the woman is getting screwed over by her insurance company. I buy out of country travel insurance myself, answer all the questions truthfully, and still don't trust that it will work as promised. Hope to never find out if it works.
I've removed a few in my life, but not to avoid paying anything. I get tired of waiting for someone to do it.
Hijo she is saying it's US$ 4,000, not RD$ 4,000. There is a 54.5 x difference between the two numbers. 4000 a night we could all agree is very reasonable. But RD$ 216,000 a night, that doesn't seem possible. I guess if she has had an operation and has been on a ventilator and needed very specialist doctors, she might have run up that type of bill, but she is saying she is better and they still want an extra RD$ 216,000 a night, which just seems wrong.
Most of these news sources get all their stuff from Twitter and other social media these days. They don't check, they just publish. So if the woman has been presented a bill for RD$ 100,000 and thought it said dollars, and posted it online, the media may have just accepted this as right without asking to see the bill or check it is correct. That's my guess.

Some of us read the whole thing in French and understood every word, but nobody likes a lady who boasts so I won't mention it.
25,500 pesos is 500 dollars. This lady is saying it's over 100,000 dollars. Not pesos, dollars.
Yes, forever. When she dies they will sell her organs to get their money.
yes, they will be armed with croissants, baguettes and bad teeth.How long before the province of Quebec organizes a hostage rescue team and they go in?
