we were faced with cancer...we had no choice. what was really crappy was that they would come to us and say "your neice needs this platlet shot, it is 10000, without it she might die"...we did it. But right next door was a kid from some 3rd worlds place with all the toys..cable, video games and private room,m phone, everything you can think of donated, while we were in a room with 3 others..no tv, phone and no frills because we could not afford it. We were forced into bankrupcy(sp)...
would I do it again? 100% yes..my neice is a happy healthy 20 y/o..money is fleeting and after 8 years, I only occasionally get declined for credit(we have 720+ fico) own a home, and live as good or better than we did 10 years ago...I have no regrets doing it..her hospital bills alone were nearly 1 million..then the Docs...none of whom got a dime from us, billed like 2.5 million to us while all along donating their services to the "poor" kid next door (scumbags...)
Sadly this has only fueled my disdain and mistrust of dr's in general
