A West Virginia University student has a traumatic brain injury and cannot communicate with his family after he fell down a flight of stairs. He has been fighting to survive for six weeks.

According to investigators, 22-year-old David Rusko’s friends didn’t call 911 for more than two hours after the fall.

Doctors have told the family they can’t do anything more for him and he needs to be admitted to a different hospital in Atlanta. His UPMC health insurance was accepted, but the health plan denied the transfer saying “the medical records they’ve received do not indicate a need for this service,” basically saying the level of care he’s getting there is the same as he’d get at another facility. In a statement to Channel 11, a spokesperson for UPMC said they could not provide specifics on this case, but they are seeing what can be done.

Rusko’s fall happened at the SAE fraternity, which has been suspended.
