Brenda Slater and her husband Brian, who live in Tiny Township about two hours north of Toronto, travelled to Jamaica in early November for a five-night getaway to Couples Negril.
"I asked if there is an emergency room closer and they said no. They lied. Then I asked if we are going to a public hospital and they said yes. Again, they lied," Brenda told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday. "I thought finally we are good. I begged them to stay at the hospital overnight but they told me to go back to the resort two hours away."
"The next morning the heart institute said they didn't receive the money and they needed the e-mail confirmation that the transfer had processed before they would take him to Kingston." Brenda said Hospiten eventually accepted US$10,000 from their insurance company and agreed to allow his transfer to another facility.
Imagine, if you will travelling to a 3rd world schiff hole and expecting to get 1st world attention when things go sideways
give the doctor $50.00 American dollars; he will do it, and feed him grapes, while the nurses fan him.
What is the point of this story if you don't disclose the NAME of the Insurance company? Or, are ALL Insurance companies negligent like this anonymous one? Just another incomplete news story from CTV.
Don't travel. Sick and tired of reading this bull shit!
