In reply to the discussion: Hospital Bill, German style [View all]DFW

That is the overriding plus!! The clinic is a well-known cardiac clinic, but even so, if someone is too far gone by the time they get there, they do not leave still breathing.
Common sense still plays a role, too. I knew a guy in Dallas who was told he had serious arterial blockage and needed it treated immediately. He said he had a weekend of hunting with some friends planned and would check in at the hospital first thing Monday. Only trouble was, he had a fatal stroke first thing Saturday. Some guys think they can put Mother Nature on hold. I am not one of them.
