You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
September 5, 2008
The Wisconsin Hospital Association has “suggested” that Wisconsin hospitals not bill patients or insurance companies for certain mistakes made to patients while in treatment. If I were a patient and somebody left a medical instrument in my body, I would sue the pants off them.
Oh wow. Seriously? They have to be TOLD not to bill for these things? WTF? Can you imagine getting a bill for for a surgery that was done on the wrong body part, or the wrong PERSON?!? Talk about adding insult to injury!
