Pay up or suffer
Before taking the staff of the enterprises demanded to pay for medical examination, which was done.

In the end, the woman gave birth to 14 October a long-awaited baby. He was immediately taken to the maternity ward, not allowing the family the opportunity to really look at the child. The doctors announced the price of their services – $11 thousand
In the morning the staff at the private hospital were shocked by the happy parents: their child has problems breathing and the doctors were unable to save the baby. The couple did not have time to recover, to understand what happened, as employees of IMG said one more thing. They refused to give the body of a newborn, while a couple will pay $5.1 thousand of the total medical bills.
