OT Had surgery back in May. Total surgery time 1 Hr 42 minutes. The SURGEON charged $1,130, the Anesthesiologist charged $783 and his CRNA charged $748. Why the CRNA? I don't know. I didn't request her.

Why need the doctor if the CRNA is gonna be there doing all the work? And if the Doc isn't doin anything then why need the CRNA? Total for both of them I paid more than I did for the guy doin the freakin surgery.

Yeah, I'm calling tomorrow and telling them that I'll pay one of them but not both.

THAT is why our healthcare costs are going up. They're gouging people left and right.

We don't need Congress calling oil CEO's up to interrogate them. We need Congress to interrogate the health service industry!
