Time in a ICU at whatever the cost is well worth it!
I spent 2 days in a ICU at the cost of $8,000 - $10,000 per day. That was 3+ years ago —— The Fantastic Nurses and Doctors saved my beat up old butt.
(The Lord God was there to aid them!)
“(The Lord God was there to aid them!)”
I see it the opposite.
This man’s outcome was not the same as yours
ICU and CCU can indeed be life saving. And yes the staff are remarkable
Glad you are doing well
Ugh! Spent 12 days intubated in a trauma unit. Had
tubes sticking me everywhere imaginable. Not including
helicopter ride bill was $285K. This was in 2010.
March 23-April 14, 2017, I spent 23 days at York Hospital, in ICU, CCU, private room, round-the-clock nurses, many CT-Scans, 4 endoscopies, for Acute/Severe Pancreatitis, AFIB (heart); 5 stents in heart arteries (too weak from Pancreatitis for bypass op); the total bill was $887,500. I died 2x, they brought me back, and I lost 131-lbs (265 to 134).
Then, 2mos later, I was at PSU-Hershey Hospital/Medical Center for GI specialists for 11 days in ICU with 9 endoscopies, 4 stents in stomach to drain pseudo-cyst on Pancreas (ERCP Op), lost 11-lbs; total bill was over $112,000.
At both hospitals, the Drs and Nurses and support staff were incredible, but God wasn’t ready for me just yet; I’m still in “His waiting room”.
