Greater Manchester Man Hospitalized in Turkey With Brain Bleeds After Fall on Dental Trip

His family faces mounting private hospital bills with no travel insurance.

Overview

  • Doctors in Antalya say the 40-year-old has life-threatening brain bleeds and is not fit to fly home.
  • He is awake and able to speak, and clinicians plan an arterial stent procedure to examine his brain.
  • Visiting is limited to 15 minutes per day and the hospital has withheld his phone, according to his partner.
  • The private hospital sought €5,000 for the ambulance and CT scan and a further €15,000 for treatment, with charges rising daily.
  • With repatriation off the table for now, the family launched a GoFundMe and contacted the British Embassy for help with payments.
