I'll add to my op, they monitored my fluid intake/output. Because they felt my output wasn't adequate, they ordered a ultrasound of my prostate. I told them there is nothing wrong with my plumbing, never had been. Ultrasound proved I was right so their next game was to give me a catheter - WHILE I WAS FULLY AWAKE. That was unbelievably painful and entirely unnecessary! That is a one way valve to be sure. Of course all of these tests and procedures were added to my bill. I should mention, I had recently lost my job due to the economy and had no insurance. They say don't hold grudges, but I can't let this one slide.
I would love to but I don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. I was in good shape and an able body/productive member of society. In the month it took me to recover, I lost 40 pounds and most of my muscle tissue atrophied. I got evicted and currently live with family. They can Bill me until the cows come home, I am at an age where I won't love long enough to pay off my debts. The coof devastated the life I had. Not self pity... Reality. I do what I can to just get by and try to be of service to anyone who needs it.

Have you taken legal action? That's major medical malpractice and that bill should just be dismissed, along with you getting a payout.
