In case you're wondering how much things I had done in February of this year (2018) cost, I got a breakdown from my insurance company. My insurance is decent (thank you, Obamacare!) so I've owed only a few thousand dollars. I know you're saying "Only?!" but my parents left me some money when they died in 2011, so I can manage it. It's in ascending order and just the highest ones.
- Operating Room Service (This means cutting off my right leg at the hip and stitching up what's left. My doctor's house has a swimming pool and a tennis court. Not kidding. I like the guy, though.): $40,866
- Intensive Care (really, it was a sort of half-intensive care room for a few days until I got moved into a normal room): $17,964
- Supplies (Oh, come on, this much? What am I, going to the moon?): $6,740
- Pharmacy service (This is why you hear about $200 aspirins and things like that.): $5,479
- Anesthesia service (You're going to cut off my what? No! No! So ... sleepy ... no ... don't. Dave ... stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave.): $5,130
- Semi-private room (Actually, it was a private room, but I'm not going to call and tell them that.): $4,604
- Recovery room (Is he dead? No? Slap his face and see if comes to so we can get him the hell out of here.): $3,913
- Physical medicine (I have no idea what this means. They also billed me $614 for Occupational Therapy, so it can't be that, can it?): $1,688
- Laboratory service (Looks like blood all right.): $1,319
Total: $87,703
