I broke my wrist badly 20 years ago, total costs were about US$40k - I had to have an operation, etc.

Fortunately medical insurance covered 80%, but if I had not had insurance I would have been screwed.

Thats pretty shocking. Cost of treatment is another thing we havent really factored. Consultants must be on savage money out there as well as here

I broke my arm horribly in 4 places in gym class at school when I was made walk a balance beam. 1982. My arm looked like a corkscrew and I was made wait in the school office until my father drove from his work to get me to the hospital.

We were made of sterner stuff back then. No compensation required.
