I had an ankle surgery in 2015, and it was supposed to be a 1 hour surgery tops. Well, there were complications, and my surgery ended up taking nearly 10 hours (one of the bones in my foot was so brittle that it literally shattered, which was just one of several problems my doc filled me in on). After a 3 night hospital stay, I go home. I paid a total of $2500 thanks to ridiculously amazing insurance (I worked at one of the big banks at the time). I later get the EOB (explanation of benefits) from my insurance company explaining how much they paid for the services, and it was almost $200K between my doctor, multiple visits from the anesthesiologist, hospital fees, 3 nights stay, and the best damn pain killers to exist on the market at the time.
