Without knowing anything, 10 million seems excessive, but 6 months in a hospital will no doubt be expensive. I don't want to stir up bad feelings, I'm just curious, was there a good chance that your dad was going to make it out of the hospital? What was EOL talks like with the doctors? This story brings back the article here not too long ago, regarding the average hospital stay of a doctor at EOL vs the general public. I'm not sure of all the influencing factors regarding EOL procedure, but it does seem like a huge amount of resources are used for the very short end of a large amount of people's lives. Once again, no offense intended, it just got me thinking.
