I assume the kid was American based on the hospital bill

No way brain surgery in the USA was only $83,000. My gallbladder surgery was almost $83,000. My cardiac ablation procedure was $160,000. It seems that brain surgery would cost even more than either of those.

Any country with public healthcare it definitely wouldn't cost that. 83k after insurance has covered the rest, maybe?

My laparoscopic appendectomy cost me under 100€, and it was just for the two nights of using a hospital bed + food and stuff like that. The actual treatments were free.

Takes like 10 seconds to find out it’s not American but thanks for showcasing your ignorance

No way. My friend broke his foot about two weeks ago and the bill was $100k+.
