It is a topical local anesthetic. It probably costs the hospital about $20 max. The price for any item is completely unrelated to its cost. I am a doctor, and I have no clue how the hospital figures out how much to charge. Ted Noel > the bill did include a CT scan for $ 1247. [ wow,. most of our clients bill out at ~$600 per, unless some contrast agent is used or other strange (onco) setup... time on the table is key, and we spend alot of time to insure ~5+ people can be on and off in an hr. -Rob {philips CT} ok... gata make this on topic... did you hear Lancair is offering an 8 week builders program? 4 weeks, then they install your motor and panel, then you come back for 4 weeks and fly away your Legacy still needing paint.. -Rob ]
