The good friend who had a minor heart attack, told me that he is now staying in a one-patient hospital room that cost almost RM300 per day. It's expensive but it is covered by his insurance. According to hospital policy, if a patient discharges after 12 noon, he would be charged another day's stay even though he leaves only an hour or two later.
His insurance agent told him not to worry about the additional charges and to only discharge when he is ready for it. My friend says he is very satisfied with his insurance policy, even though it's not premium NC health insurance plan, but it gets him covered for the medical care that he currently needs.
Even though my friend has the hospital room all to himself, I think that it could be rather lonely and quiet for him too. In a general ward, at least he would have someone to chat with occasionally, even though the rest of the people are either patients also or visitors of patients and all they ever talk about are diseases and illnesses!
