my mother was in the hospital for 3 days after my sister was born. she paid the hospital bill by dressing chickens for 10 cents apiece. my father was a field hand at the time and that was the bottom rung of the income ladder. the total hospital and doc bills came to 1/2 of one months income.

in todays money, it would come to about 8 months income for the same labor.
