Comment on If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.

X-rays and a cast, but since I brought no ID with me they needed me to call back with my health numbers for charting. Walked out without paying.
Back after a few weeks, and it’s not healing well. And that’s when they booked the surgery. They’d removed the cast for the x-rays so they sent me home with a sampler of T3 or so to get me through Christmas. Plate implanted on 28dec but in the hospital for a while because of really bad rejection and infection (almost lost it). Finally until control, I was sent homenwith a prescription for painkillers.
$0 aside from those meds (c$20). 🇨🇦
