How was your day too....two?

Any guesses what it cost to keep Poboy in the hospital 10 days?

$30,000

Nope...

$100,000.00 as a first guess; but since you had that potential TB scare, I wouldn't be surprised if it went higher. Just a somewhat egumacated guess.....?

 

[Poboy kartman]

$100,000 is quite a bit high....I'm in Texas....

 

[chancer]

58,000

 

[Poboy kartman]

Nope...everyone is missing by a pretty good percentage still.

Eric is closest so far.

 

[chancer]

Well 58 is more than 30 and less than 100!

 

[Poboy kartman]

You were closer by less than $100. $44,016.

Good thing you are a dug not a dog! I would have put you down.

I have $48,000 worth of titanium in the right side of my pelvis not counting the ambulance ride or hospital stay. That stuff gets out of hand fast.

Good Lord 12 Grand for Pharmacy!!! Seems like that would be WAY cheaper on the street.
We will have to ask our resident Chicagoan Bob.

What always kills me is the "Lab work" 10 grand really!!! Usually you see a second bill from the lab too. And it is about 50% higher.

Around $1000 PER DAY for room & board? & the food's not even that good...

 

[Poboy kartman]

For almost $8k.....you'd think you could get a decent meal with that room.

Considering the 1200 a day for pills, The 800 (not 1000) a day aint too bad. With nurses on staff for your care and all.

 

[Poboy kartman]

Way more than $1,000 a day....I spent a few days or so in ICU!

Lmao @ speech therapy and language pathology. Because that's important with pneumonia. I guess that's their way of charging $200 to talk to poboy.

Actually....it has nothing to do with speech....it's just that the Specialist that deals with swallowing holds that title.

After 39 radiation treatments....I don't have the same ability to swallow stuff as I used to.

You said SWALLOW.

[ezcome-ezgo]
