Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Dori, What , they charge for shampoo!!!! We all get a bottle of it to use, soap, snacks for the kids, plus bread, spreads and drinks for the adults. I cant believe they charge for all this elsewhere. (Australia) hospital tips If you know in advance, that the little one (or bigger one) is to be hospitalized, check with them for info on in building parents lounges, laundry facilities, etc. They are often also near facilities and grocery stores. Also bring children's shampoo/soap. The hospitals have it, but may charge a ridiculous sum for it on the bill. Six dollars for four ounces of baby shampoo??? Dori Ownbey...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hospitals charge for EVERYTHING. I asked for a plastic bag that I could take some dirty clothes home in. They charged $3 for a small plastic bag, similar to the ones from the grocery store. It's terrible. Gale > Dori, > > What , they charge for shampoo!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 All I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR INSURANCE!! Ashton has used up over $500,000 worth of insurance in his 19 months. We haven't paid a penny except for our premiums which is about $150 a month I think. And luckily, there is no lifetime limit. --mom to Ashton (10 weeks in NICU plus 2 other hospitalizations and multiple other dr visits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
