He was from Bali and was completely confused.\n We ended up at the hospital's doctor's office via the crisis service.\n This doctor led to his admission to hospital where he was extensively examined.\n\n However, he is not insured because he had just returned from Bali.\n\n Can the hospital then recover the high costs from us?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nYou should ensure that your brother gets a residential address in the Netherlands or a postal address so that he will at least be insured. Now it is the case that it depends on the complaints and the time that your brother has been outside the Netherlands whether his costs will also be reimbursed. I think it would be a good idea if you talk to social work as soon as possible. The costs cannot be recovered from someone else.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n We are not reassured yet.\n He was confused and then we called the emergency service, who referred us to the GP's practice.\n There he said that he had been in the hospital in Bali, immediately a large investigation was started to see if he had contracted the dangerous msra virus and he was isolated. We had not expected that. When he was confused we took him to the hospital. Are we then responsible and can they charge us for the costs and do we have the duty to take him in and care for him\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nLegally, it may indeed be the case that you have the obligation to admit him and care for him, but the costs of the hospital and the family doctor are for the insured or uninsured. It is possible that your brother is insured in Bali and also abroad because he is registered there. Are you investigating that?\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55017382674781,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-45620-mijn-vrouw-en-ik-troffen-mijn-oudere-broer-71-aan-in-verwarde-toestand-voor-ons-huis-we-hadden-h","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
