Seattle, June 15 (TIWN) An elderly man who battled coronavirus for 62 days at a hospital in the US has been handed over a staggering 181-page bill of $1.1 million (nearly Rs 8 crore).

Michael Flor, 70, who became the longest-hospitalised Covid-19 patient at Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah, a city in King County, Washington state, and survived, knew the bill would be a hefty one but looking at 181-page long bill left him in shock.  He came so close to death in the spring that a nurse held a phone to his ear while his wife and kids said their final goodbyes, reports The Seattle Times.  Recovering at his home in West Seattle, Flor said his heart almost failed for the second time when he saw the hospital bill.  His ICU room was billed at $9,736 per day and the total cost came to $408,912 only for his stay in the ICU.  "He also was on a mechanical ventilator for 29 days, with the use of the machine billed at $2,835 per day, for a total of $82,215. About a quarter of the bill is drug costs," the report mentioned.
