if I were you, I would advise your relative:
withdraw all cash in banks.
refuse all payment.
let him decide if he want to pass on or want treatment. If he want treatment , then of cos you then don't stop him. Afterall still his life and choice.
really sad to hear our country has come to such stage
my colleague's mum kena cancer. Son ask mum if she want continue chemo, she say yes. Son of cos respect her decision. Of cos she still pass on in a horrible stage
Thank you for your advice
1 thing to note first is most (but not all) hospitals/medical call center/coubter staff are not trained to give correct answers to certain questions. Medical costs being 1 of them, especially when is related to subsidy, pioneer gen, mediasave , based on my experience with my parents.
Like that how? If what he was told by the hospital staff is not correct ?
not likely that the staff was wrong
Bright Vision has altruistic sounding names for the wards..Faith Ward, Compassion Ward...sounds reassuring.
But the ward charges are atrocious!
Unfortunately none of us here can solve this "giving wrong info" problems as I believe those giving advice on medical cost over the counter and phones are just low wages, high turnover positions, that even the management did not bother to give proper trainings or resource knowledge based for them.
I could just call several times, including onsite clinic counters, to get different versions and get an overall estimates. :(
If his cancer is terminal why waste money on treatment. Just ask him to tell the doctor in charge for a morphine prescription. He should then sign the papers to discharge himself from that hospice.
A morphine overdose will stop the heart. Problem solved.
I dont think the staff gave wrong information. My relative's case is straightforward and not complicated.
The staff was certain that he has to pay $227 a day for ward charges as they call it Palliative Care.
But it was a simple bed with many other beds and not equipped with any specialised equipment
Going or not going for treatment is his call, not mine. But the facts are:
!. Sick man
2. Poor man
3. Pioneer generation nation builder who is now in need
4. In palliative care
5. No special equipment
Is it right for the pap to charge him $227 a day for a non aircon dormitory style ward bed? Doc's and therapist's fees will be added to ward charges?
I don't really care about sinkies. In fact, i love it when injustice falls upon them. It is their calling due to their stupidity and ball-lessness.
It gives me a life lesson and a real example how dangerous being stupid and ball-less can be. It will lead to your extinction.
I just enjoy being entertained by seeing sinkies suffer. And highlight the cause and effect of their suffering and demise.
We dont know how pap does its means test. But it sure looks unfair and elitist
Hopefully you have more compassion for those who are poor, aged, sick and they are bullied. They may not be what you said
I sense that you speak out of righteous anger and are frustrated by the 69.9%.You are not angry with the poor and sick
Based on your description he's in a Hospice not a Hospital. That's why there is no specialised equipment.
He there to die. All he has to do to save money is to opt to speed up the process as I described.
Thinks it's not $10k per month for every month! Prob the whole cost is &20-30k and spread out over couple of months. If $10k per month can live like king

He is in Bright Vision Hospital, not a hospice
We wont know the exact bill until he receives it. He was told he has to pay $227 per day, and also doc's and other charges. Based on that how much do you think if he stays for a month?
