POPSHealthcare Overspending Doesn't Mean GOOD Healthcare Personal story: My mother, in a nursing home, was sent to the hospital without my being notified. The nursing home reported to the hospital that she was complaining of "chest pain", neglecting to inform the hospital that she has had a serious fall and struck her head only a few days proir to that. Before I could find out that she had been admitted, the hospital had completed over $20,000 worth of cardiac tests on her (which her health insurance would pay for) for NO REASON. After I found out she was hospitalized and got a chance to speak to her doctor, he performed a simple x-ray and an MRI and found that she had sprains and strains in her chest and spine related to her fall. The doctor was the one who ordered the cardiac testing with no cardiac complaints other than "chest pain". WASTE!!!
