Responses:

My interpretation of that quote is that the surgeon gets $30-50k for the amputation. Which is extremely false. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 19, 20:38 6
- my interpretation of the American College of Surgeon's quote is that an amputation only costs the patient $740-$1,140. no fucking way that's true -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 20:40 5
  - I understand that you have better read comprehension skills than me. But where do you see anything about it costing the patient? - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 19, 20:45 3
    - again, answer the question: how much does an entire hospital stay for an amputation cost, start to finish? -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 20:47 2
      - Don't know. I will tell you next year. I am assuming our interpretations of his statement are different. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 19, 20:56
      - The patient should just do it himself like James Franco. -- nm - Dano Oct 19, 20:49
  - but who gives a shit about them? -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 20:41
