It's always so strange to see these absurd bills. I spent a month in the hospital, had surgery, CT scans, and paid nothing. Now I'm on chemotherapy and still pay nothing. It's far from perfect, but the Portuguese universal healthcare system works.

Healthcare pricing is literally, actually completely arbitrary in the fucking country. None of the numbers mean anything.

I had extremely invasive leg surgery years ago and my one day in the hospital recovering cost more than the damn surgery.
I’m talking over $100,000. I was a teenager and so I didn’t understand why my aunt was begging me to just suck it up and prove I could go home.
I understood when I saw the bill. Fucking ridiculous. AND THE CARE WASNT EVEN THAT GREAT! MY AUNT TOOK BETTER CARE OF ME WHEN WE GOT HOME.
