I received a bill that is just plain rediculous for a 5 minute visit to a hospital. I will spare
the details, but I plan to make up my own bill and send it to them, based on average costs for
medical care.
If you are in the health care business, please reply. I realize these costs will vary in different
parts of the USA, so an average cost is preferred, or base it on a midwest city such as Chicago.
Here are the questions.
What is the average cost for one day in a hospital (not including any treatments, medicines, meals,
or anything extra), just the basic cost to STAY there?
How much does an ER doctor earn per hour, (or a general practitioner)?
How much does the average nurse earn per hour?
How much does the average medical secretary or receptionist earn per hour?
Thank You
Mark
