    My dad had a cardiac arrest a few years ago. Resuscitation, ambulance, two hospitals, a week in a coma, another week recovering.

    I think the biggest expense was putting their cat in the cattery for a week.

      Come to think of it, my kids were all born at large hospitals in large cities. The biggest expense for all of them was parking.

        He was lucky enough to have it in the middle of Covid, so all the parking was free. Probably not the best idea to have everybody pawing at the same parking meter in the middle of a pandemic at a hospital. Hard enough to get people wearing masks, let alone washing their hands as well.
