German Tourist Battles Stroke in Greece, Fundraising Efforts Underway
Heiko Timmermann, a German tourist, is currently undergoing rehabilitation in a rehab clinic in Greece after suffering a severe stroke during his vacation. The stroke occurred 15 hours after Timmermann retired to his hotel room, and his friends were worried when he didn't show up for breakfast.
The exact cost of the ambulance transport for Timmermann is estimated to be between 12,000 and 15,000 euros. His accommodation and meal costs at the rehab clinic range from 500 to 800 euros per month, as his European health insurance only partially covers his treatment abroad and not repatriation.
A fundraising campaign has been set up to help pay for Timmermann's rehabilitation and potential transport costs back to Germany. If he becomes transportable, repatriation could be arranged, but the cost would be significant. The hotel staff had to open the room door at the insistence of his friends, and no publicly available updates beyond this fundraising information have been found regarding his precise health status or rehabilitation progress after the stroke.
The rehabilitation clinic that Timmermann will attend is yet to be decided this week. It's worth noting that Timmermann's vacation in Greece was his only vacation of the year.
