A Wauconda woman is fighting to get her dad home after he suffered a stroke in Costa Rica – and the family says the hospital there wants them to pay tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills before they will release him.
READ MORE:Yet currently, Sowa – who lives in Wauconda, Illinois – cannot get to her dad, Richard Rice.
After the loss of his wife, Rice vows to see the world again – and Costa Rica was his choice. Yet, on the first day of a two-week trip, his health failed. “They didn’t want to treat him at all until they had money. The first charge at ER was $1,500, and then they said we can’t admit him without money,” Sowa said. “Yet they did a CT scan, and yes, he had a stroke – but, ‘We can’t admit him without money.’”“In the meantime, my dad has a heart attack, so then they put him in ICU and they ventilated him,” Sowa said. “Before that, he was just standing by waiting for someone to get there to pay for the treatments.
