E:\vcpp\Hospital\hospital.cpp(98) : error C2601: 'printBill' : local function definitions are illegal... I've checked this program over and over to make sure all the variables were in the right place but i still cant fix the problem.... please help me!

The great thing about error messages is that they tell you what you've done wrong. This one tells you that you are trying to define a function inside another function, which is not allowed. If you don't think you're trying to do this, then check for missing/extra {}'s, etc..
