my ambulance charge – $351.76

In December I spent 7 hours in the Emergency Ward of the hospital. Excellent and prompt treatment. I must have seen 10 different specialists. Had a CT scan.

In the end, it was concluded I suffer from Vertigo. … (I suffered from Vertigo twice, so far. There’s been no re-occurrence since December.)

In the end, I was charged ZERO dollars. Filled out no paperwork. ONLY showed them my driver’s license.

LOVE the Canadian Health Care system.  😀

At Christmas my family warned me that I’d be billed for the Ambulance. About $400.

I poohpoohed that. And flew to South Africa.

On my return to Calgary in May I found the bill waiting.

$351.76

Oh well. That’s still very inexpensive for excellent service I got in a medical emergency. I’m happy I don’t live in the U.S. of A.

I paid up.
