Yeah it is about 10,000 a night for inpatients. On top of that you get charged for the procedure and for the doctor administering the procedure. Makes much more sense to have insurance

That's an average for the typical surgical procedure - (ballpark avg). That's gets you a surgeon, resident, anesthesiologist, and a nurse in an NYC hospital. This is a VERY rough cost figure. You can take almost any operation, and your bell curve will probably fall somewhere around those numbers. I'm guessing the majority of surgeons make between $250-$750K per year in Manhattan. And yes, if you go in self pay (this was about 3 years ago), your deposit is $10G per day at New York Hospital - of course Manhattan probably has the cream of the crop in health care, if not the best in the world. With some google'ing I guess you can cut your cost, Brazil for plastic surgery, Korea for rhinoplasty, etc. I still think the web is really under-utilized in the medical field, still has a long way to go. As the boomers hit their end years, expect this market to explode. You would thing that the defense budget is big?- that "ain't nothing" compared to health-care costs. For some reason people just don't want to ride off into the sunset, they want to hang around as long as possible! :-) Tips? NEVER go into any operation without google'ing your MD, and the procedure. From my experience, MDs are very happy when you go into an appointment with a list of relevant references, links, refs from journals, etc. - also teaching hospitals seem to always have the best MDs, at least in my experience. Actually my surgeon was a she. :-) sorry, slightly off topic! yipes! > > $10,000/a night, Is it really true? And is surgery also counted by hours?
