I spent half that time in Critical Care (much of that on a ventilator, a small amount sedated), and most of the rest in a specialist neuro-rehab unit. I would have died otherwise.

Fortunately it cost me nothing - Thank Bevan for the NHS - but if I were in the US I imagine I would be financially crippled!

Unless anything was out-of-network and that bumps you up into a much larger out-of-pocket max.

    But you planned for that. You went to the hospital you specifically knew was in network before you entered your coma.

    Problem is they brought in a doctor they knew was out of network. You didn't choose him, they did. Now pay up!
