So as many of you know, my mother had a brain turmor removed last week (almost 2 weeks ago now). She spent a total of 8 days in the hospital, had 2 MRIs, a CAT scan, a stress test, and the surgery, and probably some other tests I"m forgetting.

She got the bill today...anyone wanna guess what it was? There were 10, yes, 10 pages of charges, and this doesn't include the bills from the individual doctors.

Did you guess anywhere near $83,692? Yes, 83 thousand dollars. And it all looks to be covered by the insurance.

We'll see what happens when the bills for the surgeon and the anesthesiologist come in.
