I self admitted to hospital as I thought I was badly dehydrated.
Turns out it was severe pneumonia.... Upon admission I had to give a 20k deposit.
Within hours I was in ICU in an induced coma.
Iam told my insurance declined cover they next day and the hospital wanted a large chunk of cash to continue treatment.
HR Manager from my work stepped , paid what was owed (180k) and arranged transfer to my SS registered hospital.
I was brought out of the coma 15 days later.
Would have been screwed if I had to pull money from investments abroad.
