Hope she is doing okay, ovarian cyst hurts like putting your nuts in a vise, or so I am told. My sister, who is a pretty GD tough chick, said it was orders of magnitude worse than when her about to pop appendix was plucked.

You should be able to get them to come off the price a bit, some is better than none, particularly if you approach the patient advocate/ombudsman the right way. Ask for a letter, maybe even send a letter to them. Less likely to lose your cool and take a poke at somebody if you are not talking to them face to face.

Scary stuff!
Scary indeed, medicolegal tends to trump all, particularly in an emergency room setting
