Have a look the bill (given on a rough estimate paper) for a minor surgery (operation) of appendix in Pakistan (a third world country). Shocking and stunning reality that bill reveals is that the hospital is charging PKR 15000 for anesthesia (send the patient into unconsciousness) for surgery (surgical procedure).
- Surgeon fee: 75000
- Operation theater charges: 25000
- Operation Theater staff charges: 3000
- Anesthesia 15000, Asst. charges: 3500
- C Arm fee: 6000, Single room charges (2 days): 8000
- Doctor visits charges (2 visits): 2000
- Heater charges: 5000
This bill doesn't include Laboratory (pathology), X-Rays and medicine charges.
Medical treatment and procedures have turned the noble profession (cause) into butcher business, and the absence of the law in the wild.
