Think of an organ the size of a chili pepper; for some, it might be the size of a jalapeno at the time. Now imagine the surgical and auxiliary medical needs to remove it when it causes you pain. It's really a minor process and doesn't take that much.

So why is my medical bill $14,522 USD then?? The operation itself was only $4,061 of that; anesthesia so I wouldn't scream during it racked at $1568; lying in the recovery room for 90 minutes came to $701. All of a sudden, hotel rooms seem really cheap. I sure appreciate medical insurance now.
