Unbelievable !

Copy of my mom's hospital bill 1953. She had a nephrectomy (kidney removed) and stayed three weeks in the hospital. Look at the itemized charges. Anesthesia: $10.00. This was major surgery, she had several blood transfusions etc. Very few charges for supplies. I think those sweet Franciscan sisters showed some mercy. No insurance. Self pay--and she paid it all on a waitresses wages. Total bill: $195.67.
