Three-year-old Joy Blessing. She has been detained at Kenyatta National Hospital over hospital bill.

“I am grateful that my daughter has recovered, but I cannot leave the hospital. She is very playful and I am afraid she will contract more diseases, ”Ms Mmochi said, noting that patients with different diseases are forced to share beds at the patient detention centre.

“Sharing of bed is not good for those whose wounds have not healed. I am appealing to the hospital to release my daughter as I look for money to pay them,” said the 24-year-old mother.

“I am a single mother and sole breadwinner. The longer I am detained here, the worse the situation gets for my family. If they let me go, I’ll be able to get back on my feet and start paying the bill,” said Ms Mmochi, a hotel attendant

She was discharged from the paediatric ward late last month, but her mother, Ms Euster Mmochi, says they cannot leave the hospital because she owes the hospital Sh168,000.

Looks like 168,00 Kenyan shillings is about 1668 USD, lets hope they can resolve this.

What was the name of that movie? Was it a good one?

[PghBaldy]

Monaco?

“Taken” starring Liam Neeson. 2008 film often considered a fun action movie but not generally considered an enduring work of art.

The impressive thing is that Kenya has a hospital.

[The people have spoken]

Good enough to generate two sequels.

With hospital beds in short supply all over the world, I cannot imagine keeping someone in one. You “ain’t making money on an empty bed.”

You would think people who cannot pay would be kicked out, not retained.

....but not generally considered an enduring work of art.

Well, not everything can be up to the Starship Troopers level of excellence.

Is there a “go fund me” or some such thing set up for this poor lady. I don’t have very much, but this poor lady and her daughter need help. I am horrified by this heartlessness I am reading here. Being “conservative” never justifies a lack of charity, for the “conservative” charity is something we prefer to do personally, not have the govt do it.

[antidemoncrat]

Maybe the king of Kenya, Obama, will intercede on her behalf.

You should consider posting somewhere that they’ll appreciate your lectures.

I like action stuff with Jason Statham and Sly Stallone, Bruce Willis ..... oh and The Rock ....

I’m thinking the standard of care at a veterinary animal hospital there is probably four notches above their best regular hospital.
