Wow, I can't believe medical costs recently. I had a routine diagnostic
procedure last year and just now got the bill. It was over 5K and the insurance
paid under $700. I don't think I'm on the hook for more than $180 though, as
that's the copayment amount listed on the EOB. Did you watch the segment
recently on TV about the Dr in Redding that was doing unnecessary heart
procedures? They FINALLY pulled his privileges, after years of him killing
healthy patients. What they SHOULD do is throw that SOB into prison and run a
few bypasses on his heart, leaving him incapacitated.

The finger is OK. But the ER cost 900 bucks and the Doc sent his 600 dollar
bill next. Came out to 1500 bucks and hour. 5 little stitches. I should have
just used duct tape !
