$3000 to have the procedure if i'm diligent. does appendicitis jump up out of the blue? no... there's signs. - colin Jun 28, 11:20 21
- Dude.. the CT scan to just diagnose your appy will be like $1,000. ER visit $500, ER Doc... you will probably rank up $2-3k before you even make it - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 28, 11:26
- Now you are starting to act like you're you own doctor... which is part of the problem of people being uninsured -- nm - con_carne Jun 28, 11:24 4
  - this. my friend who died last month ignored a cough for a couple of years. whoops. -- nm - loosilu Jun 28, 11:25 3

      - just to be clear, he had coverage. my point was that he played doctor and decided it was nothing. - loosilu Jun 28, 11:33 1
        
        Ah, good point. Went off on a tangent there. -- nm - con_carne Jun 28, 11:39
- heh. try over $28k -- (link) - decline Jun 28, 11:24
- Hmm... appendicitis does jump out of the blue. I just had a dude last week who thought he had food poising, nothing really major just some - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 28, 11:23

    - see, that's scary. -- nm - Andie Jun 28, 11:29 4
      - And I can't imagine living with that fear - Guigue Jun 28, 11:31 3
        
        honestly, 25k does not take you very far should you end up in a hospital. - groiny Jun 28, 11:32 2
        
        I'm guessing for an uninsured patient that means automatic bankruptcy... -- nm - Guigue Jun 28, 11:34
        
        wasn't amoxy's stay more than that, even? -- nm - loosilu Jun 28, 11:34
