>Have you tried to get yourself home with a blown hamstring? I assumed she had family in the area. Did she drive herself home the next day with a still blown hamstring? > The toddler in the accident had the last slot of the day. So, are you recommending that she could've just waited all night in the waiting room? For 4k I would have. > She just did what the doctors recommended. I can certainly understand that, but also don't think it needed a hospital stay. The MRI doesn't fix anything, it just tells you how bad things are. She could have had a relative drive her home, sleep in her bed, and drive her back the next day. For the record, I broke my arm playing softball 3 years ago. The paramedics wanted to drive me to the hospital. I told them no, because I knew it would cost 1-2k for the 10 minute drive. Instead I had a friend do it. They didn't ask me to stay overnight for my x-ray, but i did wait for several hours. If for some reason they had asked me stay because it broke (the machine) or wouldn't be ready, you can guarantee I would not have. I know it's really expensive, and there isn't anything they would be doing for me. I'd have gone home and been miserable for free instead of staying and been miserable for 4k. Sometimes you need to question what doctors tell you. They are in the business of helping people, but they are also for profit. Maybe they assumed your insurance would cover it, but that doesn't mean it was necessary.
