WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF POLAND TOOK A VACATION two years ago, the government demanded around-the-clock ambulance standby while he was unwinding and frolicking.  But the local hospital doesn’t think much of getting stuck with the tab.  The Warsaw Business Journal is reporting:

The Interior Ministry hospital in Gdańsk is demanding payment from President Lech Kaczyński for medical care during his holiday in Jurata. The hospital authorities decided to take the case to court, which is to rule whether the president must pay for the ambulance and doctors which were dedicated for his use during his entire stay.

The unprecedented case concerns 71 days of ambulance use in 2006. Representatives of the hospital have valued this service at zł.214,000.
