At the very worst (and it's not even at the worst) you can call this guy stupid for building something like that.
But 69k for an xray? That's where the outrage should be directed. That's evil in it's purest form. More then just simple outrage, the person responsible for charging that 69k bill is someone that needs to go to jail.
The sad thing is, the responsibility is distributed among the entire medical industry. It's very similar to the phenomenon of software engineer salaries.
- abnercoimbre 5y agoTangential: could you expand on the phenomenon behind software engineer salaries? Or any links for my own research?

But given the unique salaries in the US (with the epicenter being the bay area) it's quite obvious this is what's going on.
