Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 I'd like to share the other extreme here. My surgeon's bill was under $6,000 for the surgeon and assistant surgeon. I had jaw surgery in 1984 and the surgeon/assistant surgeon charged $7500. So barring complications, the actual surgeon charges are relatively inexpensive.

When things go wrong, it is terrible physically, emotionally and financially. That is why we have bankruptcy courts. I get so annoyed at the AMOS board. They don't allow any postings that may cause some " thinking " to occur. I have finally realized why grads drift away.
