Bizarre: US woman charged $11 by hospital for crying during surgery
A lady claims she was billed for weeping during her operation. Her Twitter revelation has sparked widespread outrage and raised concerns about the complexities and processes of the American healthcare system.
FollowEven if the operation is relatively minimally invasive, surgery may be a nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing experience for many people. Patients might lose their calm and even have breakdowns just before undergoing surgery. As a result, clinicians are obliged to do all possible to keep patients quiet and composed.
However, patients' emotions and worries cannot always be managed or suppressed. Charging someone for a rush of emotion is a completely separate topic that has to be discussed.
