The lack of sympathy shown by the BC and the company, was less than impressive. While he was in the ICU with his wife, they questioned if this situation was real or not, BC requesting him to come into the base with documentation, while he needed to be with his wives side, as this was obviously more important for normal people, but not for some at Wizz.

As he told me, the lazy BC could have taken the time to come to the hospital, and than he would have been able to see for himself what was going on. He was forced to use his leave days, and was being pressurized to come back to work ASP, not much compassion.
That is down to the individual BC.
I could tell you 5 stories of empathy and good treatment for every bad story you mention, but it would be a waste of time.

There are bad apples and bad managers in every company, not just Wizzair.

I have nothing but good things to say about the BC I had the chance to meet in Wizzair.
