So, good news.
I called the hospital this morning with questions re the bill. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and very helpful. She noticed that the hospital had not applied by uninsured/self-pay discount to the second surgery that I had, which would take about $16K off the bill. That has to be approved by a supervisor, but that should be okay.
So, that would bring the bill down to about $32,000-something.
That's still large, but I could, in theory, pay it off.
So, good news, I suppose.
