My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn’t choose your company specifically.

    I’ve heard that.

    His birth cost was around $20k with a stay in the NICU the first two days.

    He was diagnosed before he even left the hospital. He had visible indications of Spina Biffida Occulta (Tethered Spinal Cord). Exactly 8 weeks after he was born he underwent the surgery. Which took a lot longer than expected because they couldn’t get a good MRI image. So the Neurosurgeon ended up doing exploratory surgery to find how far up the tether went.

    Total bill for the surgery and a week long hospital stay was $40k.

    Fortunately, my wife works for the same medical foundation that owns the hospital, and she still works there today. Plus they own the insurance company. So we were lucky to have the best health insurance available in our state.
