The cost of surgery

I have been reading posts in forums and asking different people about their costs and the surgeons fees differ quite a bit.  It ranged from $2500  to $4500. Why is there so much difference?  


 Can I ask what people here paid out, for which surgeon and whether the anaesthetist was included? Many many thanks.

Hiya Tinalou, It depends entirely on the surgeon, he/shes the one who sets that fee, and may or may not include an anaesthetist. 

Mine will be $4500 including the surgeons fee, gasman, dietician, surgeons visits etc etc :)

I think the cost variation would be for a whole variety of reasons. Things like location overheads would certainly be a factor (cost of renting rooms or buying and paying rates in some areas vary greatly), then the other stuff like variatikon in their own and staff salaries would factor in.  I think some surgeons also have a more involved approach where you have to see other staff in their surgery like nurses etc. To be honest, I can't be completely certain but I just feel these might be a few of the things you are wondering about.

Mine will cost around $5,800 and that is all surgeons visits, Gas man (because I can't spell anaethiatist), 4 Dieticians visits, Physicians visit and a Psyche visit.

Willowgirl, I'm happy to help you out (being a teacher n' all), there are several acceptable spellings for anaesthetist, these would be...

A-N-A-E-S-T-H-E-W-A-T-C-H-E-C-A-L-L-I-T
A-KNEES-THE-TEST
or
I-NEEDS-THE-GAS 

Hope these helps ya! :)
It's just one of those stupid words!

Wendy, I love those. I can't believe English was my best subject and my family business is teaching (we have so many family members)...my spelling has gone south these past few years...thanks for all the great versions of a-knee-the-tist...lol

There are a lot of little costs as well all of mine are outlined here:
