Those costs are horrific. Here in the UK, our National Health Service may be crumbling, but that stuff is still free.
I waited two years for a hip replacement and was on the verge of spending £10k to get it done privately before getting a call from the hospital to say a cancellation had freed up a slot for me the following week.
I have also had two cancer scares in recent years. Both turned out to be benign but the care and kindness shown by the NHS staff was incredible.
I got my hip done. I changed doctors. In to see the guy who did it in December and got it done March 28. Cost me a shade over $3K complete, for a $60K invoice.
