re: #113 Backwoods_Sleuth

tripped over one of the ebil kittehs on September 30, hit the kitchen floor hard, and fractured my right arm in two places up near the shoulder.
I just got the notice from my insurance company for the bill that the bone specialist submitted and I’m gobsmacked: $946 ($653 of which was labeled as “surgery”).
It was a follow-up office visit that involved 2 or 3 x-rays, the doctor never came within 6 feet of me in the exam room. No cast ever. He just told me to stop wearing the sling and to do range of motion exercises, and come back in five weeks.

Ouch—sounds painful (both the injury and the insult to injury added by the bill.)
