Like a shell game with your health costs.

My kidney cancer cost around $130K just for the 5 days in the hospital and the surgery, the same surgery that took my prostate (same robot), and I've teased my doctor that after two surgeries he owes me a ride in his Lambo - he told me "I wish, I drive a VW Jetta but you can ride in it if you want". After the prostate surgery bills came in I can see that his post-insurance fee was $10K and since all surgeons are usually in a network of doctors, you have to figure he might get half that. A little humbling to me. I know he makes a very good living as a top notch surgeon but I think he's also a very humble man - my wife and I figure that he spends his money on something like his incredible toy train collection or glass figurines or something 😂.
