TAN Tock Seng Hospital is seeking a court order to remove a bedridden, comatose patient who has been in its care for over three years.

It is also asking his family to pay the medical bill - of at least $330,000 - run up since the patient was admitted in May 2007.

By Golly ......

$330,000 divided by 36 months = nearly $10,000 per month !!

Rich your dead head. Got to get relatives to sign guarantor forms first, then after everything, whether I still alive or dead, the bill comes, they must pay. Otherwise, can sue for bankruptcy.

==============

from the initial read, i would have thought it was a routine op.

ie: go in one day, out the next.

looks like there's alot more to it than what's on the paper.

A fair and reasonable request. I don't see how keeping a comatose patient alive at the expense of the taxpayer serves any purpose.

typical cr@p freeloader who looks fat(maybe fatter before illness) , don't exercise, hedonistic lifestyle of a mat rocker and probably smoker and eating alot of sh!t food and can't be bothered about his health then probably stroke out(looks like a stroke paralysed patient from ttsh veiwpoint ) and now put blame on everyone except himself and now want other taxpayer to pay his bill and long term care. full of sh!t:oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo: even his wife walked out on him and his family cow beh cow bu type. no wonder I refused to donate to succh cr@p people like him anymore. now if they lose court case(which I sure they would since ttsh seem to have evidence and so sure) who's going to pay the hefty legal bill? not them going by their attittude . taxpayer probably as they would then cry no money and ask MP to help.
