the only one I met who presented with completely failed kidneys 'just like that' had covered up his long history of chronic renal failure ....
I note that someone was not frank with the insurance company ( peritonitis two years earlier is pretty hard to forget ) and had it voided - this is NOT a technicality. I know I am uninsurable as a result of a pretty terrible medical history and wouldnt dream of trying - "oo I forgot I had ca colon - silly me o never mind" because everyone knows if you lie on an insurance form they wont pay.
There are govt hospitals - I am not sure if they offer dialysis.

Acute renal failure on holiday with no pre existing cause?...probably due to dehydration.....probably/Bit odd?
In the notes he had a cardiac arrest....why?
Could it be that the dialysis was switched off due solely to medical reasons ( he would have been a vegetable) and nothing to do with insurance or payments.
There comes a time in medicine whether State or Private funding where a "body" becomes salvageable and life support is meaningless and needs to be discontinued.
It is my impression that the unknown facts of this case are the important details and not the financial aspects.

In an emergency....ALL hospitals will treat patients, but in a non emergency,then Private hospitals have the option of not treating the patient who is not insured.
In this case.....I assume....as i do not have the facts...the case was not considered an emergency, missed diagnosis and the patient died.
It happens all over the world, including the NHS........but again, i am not in possesion of the facts of this case.
Patients die, misdiagnosis happens, mistakes are made...all over the world, every day.
