Saul Daly, living in West Belfast, was on holiday in Side with his partner Kathleen McLean when he was rushed to an intensive care unit after it was found that he had a bleed in his lungs.
Saul is originally from Liverpool and Kathleen from Glasgow, but they have lived in the Whiterock Road area of Belfast for a number of years. "Over the next couple of days, this pain only got worse, and we asked the hotel manager to organise an appointment with the doctor. But after describing his symptoms, an ambulance arrived to take him away for tests.
"Our problems arose, though, when we were trying to get our medical bills paid by the insurance company who have been less than helpful with everything. They have said they will only pay less than half of the bill and even told me they would refuse help altogether if we didn't stop trying to contact them.
