      How much could three weeks of skilled labor and equipment cost the hospital? What percent of $210k? Is the actual cost of a hospital room and labor much more than a 5* hotel (~$500/day)? I really doubt it.https://twitter.com/juliagalef/status/1125083794631827456 …

      When I was in the burn unit for 3 weeks and kept begging everyone at the hospital to tell me how much the stay was costing me. Everyone claimed not to know. One person said "Not sure, but definitely less than $1,000/night." When the bill came it was $10,000 per night. https://twitter.com/AllOnMedicare/status/1124042436345569286 …

      • Report NetzDG Violation

      I’ve spent a lot of time with family members in ICUs recently, and amused myself estimating costs. Most people actually contacting the patient are not well-paid (I looked it up). And they actually attend to the patient <20% of time despite “intensive” term.

      Total cost of all equipment in the room is negligible compared with day rate. (I looked it up. I was bored. You can google the model number of a cardiac monitor or whatever and get the price immediately.)

          Did you take notes? Would love to read the more detailed version.

          Afraid not... I hope you never have to spend time in an ICU but if you do it’s a way of passing the time

          David Goldhill (@david_goldhill) has done some of this estimation -- reconstitute a timeline of care in a hotel room with private equipment and staffing. See his book Catastrophic Care.
