Needed to add that the hopspital sent my FIL a bill for $140,000 for the surgery. It was their mistake . They failed to follow up on the shadow or cyst next to the kidney. They have a grant taht pays for the donor's surgery, but since there was no transplant, they didn't pay. I appreciate the fact that they saved their life, but they could have sent his to hi VA hospital to have it taken care of. His insurance wouldn't pay anywhere else. I cad to mention I would call a lawyer for them to erase the charges. I don't know anybody that can pay $140K out of pocket.
