You didn't mention that you went to a doctor originally, nor did you mention that you weren't able to extend a stay (and for what its worth, unless its an extreme case like when Hurricane Katrina hit or something, I haven't ever seen a hotel not be willing to extend a platinum member's stay - at least not at the rack rate - if you were on a discount rate, maybe not at that rate, but they usually always extend stays if you're already occupying the room - in some states, it's illegal to kick someone out who's already in the hotel & who has been paying - if anything, that'd be a complaint you should fight for)
See aaupgrade's post for why I was under the impression your bones weren't set properly - and now, given your explanation of having gone to the emergency room, you really should take that issue up with your doctor as if he/she had set your bones correctly the first time, you wouldn't need them to be rebroken as you earlier stated you did.
Regarding the meal, as other posters have agreed, you never said you weren't served. If that truly is the case, then why wouldn't you have disputed the charge for the meal at checkout? Or did you not review your bill before leaving the hotel? Did it take 8 weeks (as I'm assuming it's been at least 8 weeks since the accident occurred given your original post) to realize they charged you for something you didn't consume?
You asked us to please read it carefully before responding - which I think many of us did.
bhatnasx - can you review your own post and think about this logically?
You say that you have never known a hotel not to extend a stay - and that I should fight for that.
Why wouldn't I dispute the charge for the meal at checkout? Did I not review my bill? Did it take 8 weeks for me to realize that?
Both of these issues were a part of what my original post were about! A plat member, an injured plat member no less, cannot get an extension? And the breakfast wasn't on my bill when I checked out - it was added later. Did it take me 8 weeks for me to realize it? No. I wrote the post 8 weeks later. (and let''s get real - even if it had been - I am there with multiple broken bones and you think I should have reviewed the bill at the time ???)
As for my arm, your statement....
you really should take that issue up with your doctor as if he/she had set your bones correctly the first time, you wouldn't need them to be rebroken as you earlier stated you did...is completely out of line. You have no way of knowing whether they were set correctly, and you certainly cannot determine whether they need to be rebroken, or why.
Do I think you read the post carefully? I have no clue. Do I think you saw the word compensation and based your entire response on the fact that you felt I wanted "something for nothing"? Yes. Your summary of my OP was quite sarcastic in tone, and indicated as such.
