Those doctors and hospitals may well have saved your life. And chances are they'd get sued if they didn't do every treatment or procedure in treating you. My SIL had a lot of pain all over just before xmas. Went to the ER Christmas morning. Immediately sent her to ICU. Diagnosis: sepsis. Massive antibiotics and about a dozen specialists saved her life but not without cost. Had spinal surgery for infection on the spine, was on the list for open heart surgery due to infection on her heart. Just the other day had to amputate a foot and half of other leg. But she's alive today, exactly one month after she "didn't feel good". Doctors said that she had less than 10% chance of surviving those first couple of days. All from an "infection".
Sorry for my rant but youre comment about "milking the system" hit a nerve. If anyone "milks the system", it's the patients and their ambulance-chasing lawyers who sue when the outcome was not 100% perfect. A close relative is the Risk Manager for a large urban hospital and they get sued EVERY DAY because someone didn't come out of the hospital 100% perfect. Doesn't matter if the doctors did all they could or that the doctors saved the patien'ts life or that the patient didn't follow the doctors orders or that medicine is not a perfect science. It's like hitting the LOTTO for most of them.
True story: Wife is a nurse in a clinic run by a hospital. Patient had been there before and had sued because of some BS reason. Hospital cut a check for a few thousand to get rid of the nuisance case. Patient came back and WANTED THE SAME THING DONE AGAIN because "the money had run out".

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
