re: Air lifted to hospital

I know a guy who was airlifted from a rural hospital, to a trauma center 2 hours away by ambulance. Bill was $55,000, and he was pissed. Reason; he was drunk and put a knife though his hand, taking out the seed of an Avocado; like completely though the center of his hand, and hit the palmar arch arteries. Blood was shooting out both sides of his hand, and they had to put a Blood pressure cuff on to stop it. Had to ship to a hand surgeon as they had to cut off the arterial flow to his hand, and the clock was ticking. Instead of being great full for saving his hand, he came back to cuss out the physician at the outlying hospital about the bill for medflight…Don’t ask how I know all the facts here, but flying is expensive. Also, another thing he was pissed about, was his wife beat him to the trauma center, as she left when they knew they were flying him out, and he had to wait for the helicopter to fly there, assess, then fly him out….
