Oh no, I fell and my neck, head, and hand really hurt. I truly don't want to go but I think I have to go to the hospital
How it went:
So, good news is that your neck and head are completely good. You may get a little bruise on your head but it should go away soon. Bad news is you fractured your hand, so your gonna have to wear a cast for a little while
And we will be sending you your medial bill in a few weeks
A FEW WEEKS LATER...
OMG!!! My hospital bill is $60,000. I had to pay for my four hour stay, the two x-rays, the cast, plus it was extra money to get a color cast, I didn't know about that
Bill: $60,000
I'm going to have to get a second and or third job because I still owe money on my car and my new phone. I shouldn't have gone to the hospital!!!
How it should've gone:
Oh no, I fell and my neck, head, and hand really hurt. I think I have to go to the hospital.
But after we put on your cast you can go home and we'll mail you your medical bill. But don't worry it is a small amount of money
So, good news is that your neck and head are completely fine. You may get a little bruise on your head but it should go away in a few days. Bad news is you fractured your hand, so your gonna have to wear a cast for a little while
A FEW WEEKS LATER...
Wow! The bill is just $200. That's amazing, I only had to pay for the two x-rays. I can take some time to relax my arm a bit. Then I can continue paying off my car, new phone, and this bill!!
