Mike is having a heart cath Wednesday afternoon. He has been having quite a bit of chest pain lately, so his cardiologist wants to do a cath that is scheduled, and not a middle of the night emergency. It's hard to get Mike to admit that he needs a cath, because sometimes it doesn't show anything, and he feels like he's wasted the doctors time. I told him it would waste my time to plan his funeral, so I would appreciate it if he would just DO IT!!
OK, do you know how much a heart cath costs? Not including the doctor's bill, not including if he has to have a stent (or two) and has to spend the night in the hospital. Outpatient heart cath....$18,000.00
