Virginia Hospital Center : Public Affairs

This hospital had the audacity to charge me $3,338.54 for a five‑minute CT scan. Five minutes. That’s not healthcare — that’s daylight robbery dressed up in medical scrubs. No explanation, no justification, just an outrageous bill dropped on my lap like it’s completely normal to pay thousands of dollars for a procedure that took less time than waiting for the elevator. It’s infuriating, and it shows exactly how shameless and predatory the system has become. Patients aren’t being cared for — they’re being exploited.
