Well, according to Intermountain Health Care it's worth about $8,929.35 removed. So since it's apparently worth more removed should I have asked for it in a jar? ;)
You may as well have had a baby! At least you could take that home. However the diapers, wipes, college, all that would add up. An appendix in a jar doesn’t need much upkeep.
Expensive hospital stays are great arent they. Now you get to find out if you have good insurance. I always thought I did through Stock but after Carter was born and the hospital charges added up to about $16,000 I just assumed insurance would cover almost everything and that we would owe a couple of hundred dollars. After everything came in we still owed like $2,000. It’s alot better than the whole amount but it’s still expensive. Real fun, I feel you pain.
