Drew this to make a card for the surgeon who fixed my partner's broken ass leg. He and his staff were amazingly kind, tolerated us cancelling RIGHT before surgery (because the hospital fucked everything up.)

He liked it. YAY.

We were given the run around. Told a cost of $209,393.87 USD for surgery, & needing a $52,000 down payment less than 24 hours before surgery. So we figured "Can't pay, no service. Better go find another surgeon"And that's AFTER the ER/Hospital caused us to miss his appointment with the surgeon because of improper discharge instructions AND splinted his leg with his foot pointing unnaturally to the left to far the first time AND miscommunication by not verbally checking our number. So the surgeon called an old number on file. Not the one I had just entered for him. Delaying surgery that was supposed to happen 1-2 days after the break by A WEEK then their stupid quote almost making us cancel and have to wait ANOTHER week with him just existing with a broken leg.

Mr. Surgeon got on the phone with us after we cancelled 3 hrs before his surgery slot and said something like:"Who asked you for a down payment for this surgery? That's completely innapropriate. Your leg is broken. Can you get here by X:00?" and squeezed broken leg boy's ass in for surgery despite cancelling and all of the fucking chaos.

US Healthcare baybeeee. One medical emergency? Life over. Medical bankruptcy. :)

Anyways the final total is like $13,000 USD. So. That's a thing. Thank FUCK it's not that chargemaster ass rate they quoted.
