I don't know if I can blast the hospital for this. It wasn't like it was an appendix attack. She was intensive care for those 8 days, with a lot of specialists, and I believe there was at least one major surgury plus trauma treatment.

If anything compare to other medical bills that I've heard about this seems low.

I'm saying this from a thorough lack of knowledge.

But I doubt its out of line with the costs incurred in a Canadian Hospital.
