Ridiculous medical bill alert - $874 because holding a nurse's hand is "physical therapy", 12k (!) for changed sheets [View all]
Sara Janell was shocked when she received a bill of $41,288 after being hospitalized for three days following her leg operation. She was charged for bed changes, a recovery room, medicines, surgical supplies, laboratory changes, operating room work, and even physical therapy.
The most surprising thing was that she didn’t even receive any physical therapy services. The only thing it could possibly be referring to was when she held the nurse’s hand when walking after the surgery. It’s unimaginable that she would be charged $874 for just that!
Sara’s extreme bill left her feeling shocked because many of the charges mentioned didn’t seem appropriate for the services provided
The TikToker told netizens that even though she was charged $12,487 for room and bed changes, she had to deal with bedbugs every single night that she spent in the hospital. People asked her if she had insurance. She mentioned that she did and that her provider was going to cover a good amount of her bill but that she wouldn’t be paying the rest of it.

People asked her if she had insurance - I mean, it's sounding like a protection racket rather than insurance.
