The recent hack job under my eye? If I didn't have medicare/medicaid, I would have been looking at a 1600 dollar bill. I was there for a total of an hour. I wasn't being seen for that entire time. The whole procedure (minus the part where they left me alone by myself in the patient room for 25 minutes with a gaping whole in my face while they took my chunk sample to have a secondary look with a machine) was 10 minutes, tops.
Not sure what the machine cost upon original purchase, but from hearing them talking outside the door "ole betsy" or whatever they were calling it, was in need of replacement...so it had been there for awhile and I'm sure it was quite paid off.
1600 bucks. I'm sure every middle class family who can't afford insurance but HAVE TO HAVE medical services for health and well being, have that just *laying* around...recockulous.
Sorry to hear your daughter was ill Nutty, hope she feels better.
I hope you are feeling better.
My daughter had to have tubes put in her ears and anoids removed. She was up and running the next day. She just hates having to wear ear plugs when she swims. The only thing that sucked is they kicked us out of the room and she had to do it all by herself. YOu could see the fear on her face.
I was going to try to pull a Fletch move and call myself Dr. Rosen Rosen and try to sneak in the operating room to offer her my support.
