A hospital in Boston is suing a Saudi prince over $3.5 million in unpaid bills for a child with a rare disease
A complaint against His Royal Highness Prince Abdelilah bin Abdelaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Faisal Al Saud of Saudi Arabia and Dr. Hamdy Dawoud, the personal physician and representative for the prince, was filed this week in the federal district court of Massachusetts. It says the defendants owe $3.5 million -- and growing -- in unpaid medical bills for the girl whose care they agreed to sponsor in full.
The situation has left the patient in limbo and the hospital stuck with mounting costs. "As of the filing of this Complaint, the patient continues to receive inpatient care at BCH, even though, as of this date, acute inpatient care is not necessary," the lawsuit says."Although a transfer or discharge to assisted home care is warranted, it is highly unlikely that a rehabilitation facility or home care company will accept this patient without assurance of payment.
