I am curious.
In Canada, under "socialized" medicine I just got discharged from the hospital.
I ended up going to emergency from a clinic I stopped in at due to nausea and a continued lack of appetite.
The doctor called me in to discuss test results=>I walked in the door and was handed a letter=>you are a sick man, get to emergency.
Turns out, my kidneys shut down at some point,...I had no idea.
So 6 days in the hospital; much blood, electrolytes, heart medicine, oxygen, food, bed rest and a raft of specialists.
Out of pocket costs so far = $0.00; that will change when I fill my prescriptions => what would be my experience in the USA?
I am also slated to be fitted with a fistula and will be undergoing a regime of home dialysis; machine and materials provided by the state.
