This story sounds like so many I have heard from people after I had a 5 year ordeal with serious illness on top of almost 3 decades of another one. The whole medical industry is corrupt to the core and the basic problems are the fact they can and do charge whatever they want if you have no insurance and if you do have insurance they will make sure they get over paid too coupled with the fact there is zero accountability for anything they do. If you want to really see what's up go look up the stature of limitations on medical malpractice in your state. Then think about the fact you'd need them to fuck up so badly that any jury will agree it was the doctor's fault because there is no doctor alive that will testify that other doctors did you wrong. When I hear the crying that lawsuits are why medicine is so expensive I get mad because it is a fucking lie. In the rare cases that a doctor or medical facility does get sued and loses the courts seal the records so the public can't see what they did. One small local hospital here is so bad no one wants to go there and they have started advertising on billboards around the area with shit like "safe" "trusted" and 'ready" along with some fat nigger in a doctor's outfit on them. Clearly those are three things this hospital is NOT, hence the billboards. Oh, I have stories, and a doctor's appt near there in a couple of hours....
