To say I am outraged is putting it mildly.. What portion of the bill do I question. All of it. $38,210.91 for a four day stay is slightly excessive to say the least.. First you have her down for three and one half days of oxygen at $1200 dollars a day. She claims she was on oxygen for only two days. You have her down for 110 doses of medication over a four day period ranging from $219.10 a dose to $144.49 a dose to $61.50 a dose to $41.02 a dose to $36.25 a dose all in all 110 doses of medication in four days.
I asked for the Doctors name who signed off on this massive amount of medication and I was told it was confidential. I said I would put the patient on the phone tell her it’s confidential. They then said they didn’t know. So they went from it’s confidential to they didn’t know. Most of the doses were for 1 Pip sod /taz sod 1.125. I showed this to her cancer Doctor and he didn’t have the slightest idea what 1 pip sod/taz was.
She was in your hospital for four days at a cost of $38,210.91 or $9,552.72 per day or $398.03 an hour or $6.63 per minute. A bit excessive I would say.
