When I saw the age 91, I had to read it twice to understand it was your Dad and not you!
I recently had one procedure, an echocardiogram, not involving a doc (the tech was cute, however), which racked up $2400. Blue Cross hammered it down to $247, of which I owed $20 (+$5 in hospital parking fees). Results negative (my doc thought he heard somthing through his stethescope, LOL).
No, it was me. My Dad paid for it back in 1958.
Like I said, I need to ask him about it. I have always heard it was around $500 for everything. Just peeked my memory when I read the other Post about the Ether.
I still remember the big red “Operating Rooms” sign with a big red arrow that I saw when they were wheeling me down the hallway on the Gurney.
I was reading at age four and the memory of seeing that sign is as vivid today as it ever was, just like the smell of the Ether, the Doctors looking down on me and the bright Surgical Light above them.
