You realize that the people doing the procedures on your mother have near or over a decade of schooling with financial burdens in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to get where they are correct? Add about 3 of those people in the OR, nurses, anestiologists, supplies, cost to run the building, and shit adds up… FAST. Yes its expensive, but its what people pay or their ins companies pay for treatment that is in the 99th percentile. If you want cheap treatment go to africa where you can pay a hutu witch doctor to do a dance for your family. Ill take the expensive procedures, as much as it sucks paying them.
