My insurance will jew them down a lot but holy fuck if that doesn't make your heart race opening something like that lol. $73,884 bill to my insurance, not sure how much it'll cost me yet, but I've already paid over $1500.

I was only in the hospital 2 nights after surgery and went to work full time 9 days later.

I just read through the surgeon's notes and they use power tools to cut through the skull. Morbid mfers.
 


That is some fucked up shit.

When I broke my leg, I got $2k from the insurance company (because it was during a competition). No bill from the hospital.

Nothing exciting, unrelenting cranial nerve pain for 1.5 years without response to meds. It was scheduled well in advance and all...

Basically they cut your head open and get to the brain stem and put padding around the nerve to keep arteries and veins from rubbing it raw.

This is the surgery:

4.5 hours of surgery, it was some wild shit.
 
I had my appendix out in January and altogether it was like $45,000 or some shit. But since I pay out of pocket they do an adjustment and I only ended up paying around $14k.

What is this insurance you speak of?

Wait, that was real?
 
Dude, they put teflon in your brain? Shit man, I could have hooked you up cheap with one trip to Lowe's. I figure the circular saw would be around $250 but I already have one, and I got several rolls of teflon tape for my oil plug. We could have got this shit done on the cheap, bro. Sorry, mang.

$14K for appendix taken out? I had it out through my tummy as it was exploded 5 years ago. I paid £160 for television for 7 days because it was boring to lay in the bed ...

kingofsp is not allowed in the NHS due to past conduct.
 
Sorry to hear that man. On the plus side at least you have a full head of hair and will be able to conceal the scar.
 
^ still not a bill. It even says so on the "bill" he posted. I had one of these sent to my house as well except instead of 73K or whatever it was 750K. . .I paid 3k because like I said it's not a bill.
 
I used to do shitloads of insurance collections/billing back in the day, you have bsbc of that state, it's a PPO, so how much do you owe? looks like they already paid the hospital, and now you will get a bill from the hospital on what your liability is..
