Yep. And $25,000 for 1 hour of a surgery room. And $20,000 for 1 hour of a recovery room. Practically poverty levels.

- HarryHirsch 7y agoYou wonder how veterinatians manage. A few years ago, the cat had to go in for dental treatment. Chronic gingivitis, known problem in the feline, removal of teeth is indicated. Several hours of surgery under general anesthesia, two or three people are involved. Bill comes to 700 dollars. How far do 700 dollars get you in the hospital? The handshake with the anesthesiologist is already more expensive!
- rscho 7y agoVeterinarians manage because they are far less specialized than docs for humans. Also, there is less demand for potentially lifesaving but financially ruining treatments.
- bcrosby95 7y agoI wonder the same with dentists too. I had two wisdom teeth removed and it costed just as much as my sister getting a doctor to remove a cotton ball from her ear (while waiting in line). One involved surgery and anesthesia. The other involved a pair of tweezers. Same price.
- natalyarostova 7y agoYou are paying for a bunch of other people who used their ER but didn't pay, while the gov still forces the hospital to treat them.
