Gary's back

[gja1000]

Gary said he had 4 episodes yesterday - but I know it's because he wasn't being careful. I'm glad his appt is this Friday!

This should go under VENT but since it's related to his back, I'll put it here. We got a copy of his ER bill - now mind you they hardly did ANYTHING for him and we were only there about 2 hours. They put him on a gurney, took his vital signs ONCE, took an x-ray, started an IV and gave him one IV medication and the doc talked to us about 5 minutes. THAT IS ALL THEY DID FOR HIM, NOTHING ELSE.


And the bill was - get ready (scroll down)































$3500.00 I almost DIED. Now, we don't have to pay a cent - he has a primary and secondary insurance. BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. That amount of money is in NO WAY reflective of what they did for him. $350 would be a lot of money considering what they did. $3500 is just ridiculous! I have half a mind to ask for an itemized bill just to see what they charged for the individual things. I'm not sure I can get one though, as we are not paying the bill.

GEESH! Talk about over charging!!!
