Got a large splinter in my middle finger knuckle while splitting wood last week. I figured it would heal itself but had to go the hospital when my whole hand swelled up.
I will be billed for:
4 Intravenous antibiotics Tetanus shot Hand x-ray Chest x-ray Blood tests Hand ultrasound Electro cardiogram The full operating room experience with a knockout dose. One overnight in hospital. Two anti-biotic prescriptions
There will be alot of doctor's fees. And the hospital will come up with charges that I am unaware of at this point.
The system stinks. The lawyers, doctors, and insurance companies have ruined health care. I see the doctors as vultures, the hospitals as way over staffed but still make you wait when they feel like it, and the lawyers in the middle stirring the pot.
I had a worse hand injury mowing the lawn when I was ten years old (1955). The doctor made one house call and that was it. Now they want me to go to the hospital everyday to get the dressing changed. I'm not going tomorrow.
The whole system makes me sick. Don't think anybody can cure that. I am typing this with 10 fingers so what do I need them for now.
