Dr. No and the case of the hospital bill
Ouch. Lucky for them that they have good health insurance.
It's become somewhat of a household game to guess the total when one of these invoices arrives from a recent procedure. Since we were in the hospital for thirty-seven days, we knew this one would be a whopper. Sure enough: the grand total is $549,000. And that doesn't include the bill from the surgical team (in other words, it's for just the hospitalization overhead, not the surgical procedure itself).
