Over $6000 for a single CT scan, $200 for an IV and drugs, and $6000 for who the fuck knows what.

This is the state of for-profit healthcare.

I hope you are alright if this happened to you recently.

I wound up with the low, low price of about $3700 after insurance. Thankfully I have more than that in my HRA, so it won't really cost me anything, but god forbid I have any other emergency for the rest of the year.

This was for a kidney stone in mid December, which I had never experienced before. I was in excruciating pain, projectile vomiting, and urgent care couldn't look at me because they "didn't have a doctor on staff". I still haven't passed the stone, so I may be paying a urology center to blast it to smithereens soon enough.

It is thankfully.
