50% penalty if you don't pay within 2 days - for your anesthetist

Sure, Labour Epidural he commenced work at 01:20 and finished at 01:53 for a total of 33 minutes, that part is listed on the bill. Does seem expensive, no way to compare easily against the scheduled fees because there are no item numbers listed.

Although the bill has already been paid by my wife who freaked out to get it paid in-time, I do think I’ll be making a complaint about this on principle. I don’t want this to become common.

  • I think if an anesthetist is going to charge ~$2,600 p/h they should probably say that as they walk in the room.
  • 2 days to pay a previously unknown bill is too short.
  • Missing details from the bill such as item numbers for any sort of comparison.
