Just in case you were wondering...

For those of you wondering what medical fees go for these days, I would be happy to provide you with some up to date, acurate quotes, atleast in Vermont. I'll put some interesting items in ascending order for you, just to compare


According to the Rutland Area Hospital:

$5.13......Topical Solution
I'm not sure how much was used, but there was definately a thick layer of it on my forehead the next morning.

$5.93......IV Solutions
Apparently salt water is cheap.

$8.20......Morphine
My question is this. How is this the one of the cheapest item on my bill? Come on, we're talking a major drug here, and it's only $8????? Who's their dealer, and how do we contact them.

$8.80......Icepack
Really, it was a nice icepack. I'd pay that ammount for another one. However, the pint of Ben and Jerrys did a pretty good job, and was edible.

$16.99......Slippers Adult
You could buy about 20 pair at Walmart for that price. So what if they're sterilized before they go on my feet.

$158......Wound Repair Fee
What does this guy put on his resume "Wound Repairer"? I think "stitching" would be more concise.
