wow huh. thanks to http://66.17.18.112/flashcode/userRegister.do for giving me the DRG codes.
actually it was mayo who came up with the codes. it was the website above that gave me the meaning of the codes. i used to have a DRG book on my desk at work when i worked at staff builders/medicare unit. anyway, the cost of having such a complicated health life is over $30,000 (and i'm sure i haven't received all of the bills yet) for that week, well 4 days in the hospital.
something's gotta change.
