I agree..this doesn't seem right...recently my husband got bit on the toe by a copperhead snake. We ended up in two different hospitals. At the second hospital, there was a shift change. Guess what? Yep, that's right....even though we were in the emergency room during the shift change, we have received two bills from two different doctors. The grand total for that bite? $45,000.....$15,000 of that was just the anti-venom from the first hospital.
It is stuff like this that gets our healthcare system the reputation it has....the one that says it might be the best in the world, but it costs way tooooooo much!!!!!!!
