Just 24 hours later, his father was ready to be discharged from the hospital. As he completed the procedures, a Nurse brought him a datapad with the Bill summary.
"What the heck?" Saras exclaimed, shocked by the bill the nurse had brought him.
The bill was 443,217 Musks! Now this bill was a real tragedy!
Saras had heard of families going bankrupt paying for the Hospital Bills but he had thought them to be exaggerations. Looking at the bill on the datapad, Saras now believed those stories.
This bill had wiped away nearly half of their savings!
'Dad, I hope you don't get into another accident again. If that happens, I don't think we can keep our house.' Saras hoped sincerely in his heart.
Still, this was a Government run hospital, not a thieves' den. He could not believe the charges would be so high for a simple broken bone surgery procedure.
"Can I have a detailed breakdown of the bill please?"
