What do you guess to be Broken Foot’s difficult conversation? It was something about $15,000.
Here’s the raw thread:
“Hello, Broken Foot!”
“Hi Doctor.”
“How are you, Foot?”
“I’m better, Doc.”
“Let’s have a look at you. Do you feel any pain when I bend your foot?”
“No, Doc.”
“Do you have any pain at all?”
“No, not unless I bend my foot or step on uneven ground.”
“I see your X-rays. Your bone is healing although it is a bit slow. Have you been taking Vitamin D?”
“Yes, Doc.”
“Have you been exercising?”
“Yes, Doc.”
“How do you exercise?”
“I do everything at home, my housework, climbing my stairs and normal activities.”
“Do you want surgery to fix your bones together?”
“How much does it cost?”
“You can use your medical insurance to pay for it. Do you have medical insurance?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Do you have any company or government insurance? That can also pay for surgery.”
“How much does it cost Doc?
“Fifteen thousand.”
“I’ll think about it. I prefer to allow time to let it heal.”
“That’s the minimum cost when you use day surgery. You see, you don’t need to check into a hospital. You have day surgery and then you can go home on the same day. You’ll be able to walk on the same day.”
“I’m not in a hurry. I can wait for time to heal my foot.”
“I’ll give you an open date. You can come back anytime if you need me.”
“Thank you, Doc.”
