? what are you talking about? i know that getting eye surgery cost around $10,000. what do you mean by killing yourself have to pay $20,000?

You got a new eye, huh? Is this of the glass variety or has medical science progressed while I wasn't looking?

Is the 22 grand in fines or hospital bills or what?

I guess he's talking about

10000$ for laser eye surgery
20000$ for anastesic products to kill you at a hospital


Am I right? :confused:

a few years ago my brother shot me in the eye with a bb gun and i had to get a new eye

last week my little brother tryed to kill himself by taking 3 bottles of pills, now hes got $22,000 in bills from the 2 hospitals he went to.

So you got an entirely new, functioning eyeball? I wasn't aware transplants like that were possible.

Closest I've heard is a robotic eye, that merely simulates lifelike motion of the eye. :rolleyes:

i don't think that is possible. I think he got a brand new glass eye ball. if it is just a glass eye ball then $10,000 is a rip off. isn't it the hospital fault for saving your brother? why should he pay for the bill :p

it was the front parts of the eye they replaced

I think it costs anywhere from 1 - 4 grand per day to stay in a hospital ( a little more than a hotel ), not including a lot of the extra care options, food, medication and much more. So it might not be all that long at all.
