I just thought I'd start a little medical thread...
Seeing as I just got the bill for the removal of my appendix a couple weeks back... $26,000+! TWENTY *BLEEPING* SIX THOUSAND US DOLLARS! Holy lordy! I have insurance, so hopefully most of it will be covered, but I haven't gotten the itemized bill yet. This is not discussing socialized healthcare or whatever. I'm wondering what operations/surguries have y'all had, and what did it end up costing? $26,000 is a lot of Joes. A LOT of freaking Joes.

YIKES!!! That is a lot of dough...The money can be replenished though. If your apendix would burst, you could have died...

Yeah, Im glad it got taken out... can't take Joes with you to the land beyond (or can you... hmmmm).
I was in the ER, then the hospital for 2 full days. Lots of tests etc. I just had no idea it cost that much. You dont (well I dont) get bills that large very often

Hard to believe both operations (she had a c-section) cost about the same on paper!

if his apendix burst and he died that would have left more joes for the rest of us...jk jk jk viper brings up a good point thou....when it comes to your own health or the health of a loved one, gotta put the joes on hold. can't put a price tag on your health...$26,000 is well worth it. get well soon

Same here. We never get bills that big at all. I think it cost me 500 dollars to have my wisdom teeth removed. That was by far our biggest medical bill...Thank god for insurance...
