The family took to social media to allege that they were not told of the high cost.
Care Hospital superintendent Dr Gopi Krishna said the patient, brought from Premier Hospital. had a heart attack, lung injury and was on dialysis. He said the family had been told of the cost and agreed for ECMO, but the treatment did not work. Sources said the bills were not cleared.
