Kat White and her husband Mick can't leave the UAE until they pay off an enormous £11,000 medical bill due to travel insurance small print.
A Scots woman who fell ill in Dubai has been left trapped in the country unless she pays off an £11,000 medical bill.
She was rushed to hospital to undergo numerous tests but the couple have been left penniless after discovering Mick's travel insurance, provided by Barclays bank, did not cover Kat for treatment in the Middle East. Doctors then advise Kat would have to spend another night in hospital for more tests and a drip which would cost a whopping £3,000.
Mick said he heard a doctor say their insurance covered 'everything up until now' but any future treatments would have to be made by the couple. The couple have now been left with a £11,000 medical bill and Kat is unable to get on a plane without a fit to fly note.Mick continued: "If you understand the mental anguish that my Mrs has gone through, I've seen it, I'm watching it. I'm trying to help her out, and I said to her today, 'we can guess what's wrong all day, but you need to be seen'.
"They've basically gone to catch her but not caught her and she's fallen. She was screaming saying 'just get me in bed please, I can't trust anybody but you'."He continued: "We're in the third hospital and it's £300 for a blood test and consultation.
