Samaritan Must Pay Tab


A Good Samaritan drove a sick woman to hospital in Germany - only to be landed with a £6,000 bill for her treatment.

Resul Mor, 39, was flagged down driving home from work by a man who asked him to take his desperately ill wife to casualty in Hamburg.

But when her treatment had finished two weeks later hospital administrators sent baffled Resul the bill.

Casualty staff had asked him to sign a registration form for the patient on her arrival - but he didn't realise it committed him to settling any fees she couldn't pay.

Judges this week ruled that Resul was legally liable and must pay the bill.

"I didn't expect her to not pay anything. I'm just an ordinary man who did someone a favour," he said.

This would have happened in the U.S., but very few people here are kind enough to drive that guy`s wife to the hospital.

I feel for the guy stuck with the bill.

DestructiveSoul "Hey outcast your a fucking fag!"

-If I were you, I wouldn`t be quick to point out other people`s spelling mistakes since you can`t spell "you`re."

And I`m sure Canada`s health care system is way better than the USA`s considering if a person can afford it, they`ll come to the U.S. Hell, we`ve even had some of your politicians come here. Again, they only come to America b/c Canada is better (that makes sense).

I think it`s in favour for everybody, to kill people who think it`s ok to make a single person pay for someones` medical bills, just because he helped that someone and very possibly didn`t even realize what he signed for.

We`re not far away from giving our signature for every fucking shit we take, just to please the wish of our faschist capitalists to grab us by the nuts every time they feel like it.

In my opinion these kind of bills should be paid from our tax money, because as far as I remember, we are social creatures and live in a social society.

By the way, that means we look out and care for each other, especially when some of us can`t look afer themselves.
And if you don`t agree with that, you`re the fucking leech and therefore should go die in the fire where we decent humans gather around, and talk about how to improve the lives of everyone and not just our owns.
At least then you did something for the commonwealth and warmed us for a few minutes.

Rich people and some others in Canada...who do not want to wait like the rest of us for elective and/or experimental surgeries, do often go to the US...and other countries around the world. It is not uncommon practice in many countries with free healthcare to do such. No matter how good the healthcare...there is always a crack that some people fall through and suffer--and due to such they must end up across some border to get what they need (or think they need, sometimes I am sure). Another prob we have with free healthcare in Can. is the lack of preventive support and the amount of, frankly put, retards that frequent the system for every thing from a sliver to a cough or some ghostly hypochondriac condition. I would put Canada much higher on the list of quality of healthcare than it is, due to the huge size we have in land mass...servicing this vastness that is here definitely is a huge setback.
