Do what now?

Just when you think you're finished paying or something and can begin spending that money on little luxuries, why do you get another bill (for the same thing) in the mail?

I mailed the final check to the hospital for the surgery I had back in March. I paid the anesthesiology bill in April.

Why is it that now, just now, I have a bill from my doctor's office for the surgery? Shit, I understand that she needs to be paid, too, but nine months later? What were they doing, waiting to bill me so that they would be getting a trickle of cash flow in before Christmas?

Ugh. I really wish that someone had sat down with me before the surgery and said that "Oh...that $7,000 doesn't include the doctor's fee or anesthesia. It's just for scalpels and the paper robe you'll be wearing."

Bunch of savages.
