Son's gratitude as fundraiser hits £12k
A SCOTS grandad who was put in an induced coma after falling ill on holiday in Spain has racked up £30,000 in medical bills.
John Hollis, from Castlemilk in Glasgow, was rushed to hospital in Benidorm after his kidneys began failing while at the holiday spot with a friend.
The 73-year-old's loved ones raced to his side when doctors told them he was "likely to die".
John's organs had started failing, so medics decided to put him in an induced coma but he was taken off life support after five days.
He is now in a more stable condition but remains in intensive care.
