Hospital bosses are withholding Mick's passport until he pays a £6,000 portion of the payment plans toward the medical bill.
A Glasgow woman who fell ill in Dubai has been told she can not leave the country until her enormous £11,000 medical bill is paid.
The couple is now trapped after hospital bosses withheld Mick's passport until he pays a £6,000 portion of the payment plans towards Kat's medical bill. He claims the UK embassy refused to help, telling them "we're not a charity" and have been left with no other option than to raise money with a GoFundMe page."We got a few days into the trip to Dubai, she just didn't feel well. Then she suddenly had a full body spasm.
Being unable to settle the costs, Kat was sent home with a batch of tablets and told she should feel better in four or five days. But, when Mick when out shopping he came back to find Kat lying on the floor, having suffered another seizure. Barclays Bank travel insurance refused further charges because the specific trip did not start and end in the UK.
"She had an MRI, but they came back and said the MRI was clear and that they couldn't see what the issue was. They said she might have a virus in her spinal column. That was pretty much the only diagnosis we got working with this."
