Texas hospital charges family over $12k, then drops bill, after rogue doctor allegedly poisoned son
Fox News
After being given a poisoned IV bag during a routine surgery, a teenager in Texas was given an almost $13,000 bill, which his family has contested.
"To have this heartless financial transaction that was blind to what happened here, it was painful, and I think irresponsible, to handle business as usual kind of attitude," Dr. Dan Wohlgelernter, the teen's grandfather, said.
Jack's father told FOX 4 he expected and tried to prevent the bill by sending an email just five days after his son's surgery, writing, "please confirm that neither I or our insurer is going to receive a bill from the surgery center. I will be extremely displeased if I do. I recognize that sometimes billing is on autopilot, hence this email."
