His family obviously distressed due to wanting to care for him, yet not having the paid help they so desperately need. The patient 'Michael' was quoted as saying his stay in hospital costing up to a thousand dollars a day? Seems obscene to me that this is happening when his family want him home and are willing to give all they can?
