Wow man, that sucks. Hope you make some good bank so you can pay that off.
Could be worse... when I was in jamaica a new friend was talking about her ex- needing to get rabies shots after some kind of bat took a bite out of him. After the series of shots and followups, the total ran around $13,000. I damn near shit myself in the hot tub when I heard it. Even more tragic is that SHE'S STILL PAYING on it even tho she broke up with the guy.
And for all those people who love to bash Canadian hospitals, take it from someone who's been in one in every province except manitoba: If you're seriously sick or hurt or exhibiting symptoms to indicate your life is in imminent danger, you get prioritized. Every 'nuck hospital works a triage system. If you come in with a splinter under your fingernail and a broken toe, you can expect to wait in line after the trauma cases and bleeders. I think part of the reason why the canadian system works better is simply that money CAN'T buy people with scraped shins a higher slot on the roster than someone with an asthema attack.
