That's what the judge said. She said normally they'd either throw money at it, or fix the problem. In this case they were willing to do neither. Eventually got them to make a tiny policy change and a statement that they will uphold the change with retraining, and I got $3250.
- lesuorac 2y agoWhat happens if they don't?
- LoganDark 2y agoYour lawyer made $600K and you got $3250?
- ang_cire 2y agoNo, the lawyer was working pro bono. 600k is what those hours would have cost.
- amy-petrik-214 2y agoif you think the whole "600k is what it would have cost" thing is crazy, then stay far away from our medical system! In medicine 600k is getting off easy
- aryehof 2y agoWhat is the billable rate? 1000 per hour?
- yurishimo 2y agoUnironically yes. I remember going to the ER in a rural town in Texas when I was 18 and getting the bill for the doctor and it was $800/hr. The hospitals hire many ER doctors as “contractors” so they can crank the rates up. But the doctor works for a conglomerate that rents them out to the hospital for a fixed salary and the conglomerate profits the spread.
- ToucanLoucan 2y agoI was in the ER with my wife for an asthma issue for about 90 minutes (no ambulance), and the bill after insurance was $1,750.
- qingcharles 2y agoThis. He would have (probably) got the money if it had gone to trial and we had won.
