Here is an example… In 2014 Louis was involved in an incident in the automotive workshop during class, where his hand was crushed when lowering a car. He was taken to the nearby public hospital by his teacher for emergency treatment. Upon arrival, he was told that he had to pay $500 upfront to receive treatment. He was not given any option to be invoiced or to pay at a later time. Payment was to be received before treatment. Louis handed over his credit card. So, what are rules for international students and why don’t our health care professionals seem to be aware of international student rights?
