I'd like to respond to Wayne Thornton's letter (Aug. 18) concerning Moses Cone Hospital and his experience there.
He stated that he spent three days at Cone "because of a shadow on a film with no other supporting signs or symptoms." He felt that this was evidence that Cone costs insurers' and patients' money that need not be spent.
I wonder how soon would Thornton have sued the hospital had it let him go home because "it's just a shadow on a film and probably nothing" and it turned out to be a very big something?

Ms. Cottle, in postings to these blogs, it has been discussed that it seems clear that Wayne's displeasure is not the cost, rather it is that his bill was turned over to collections for non-payment. That appears to be the main issue.
Shalom

Darryl's right. Deadbeats tend to holler the loudest.
