So many HNers are libertarian right up until it concerns something they need.

Then it's "why do I have to pay for that!?"

I lost my shit at a redditor for complaining about a $500 overnight bill. $500 for a doctor and three nurses to watch over your animal like a hawk for eight hours, plus IV and medicine, is a damn bargain. I thought HN crowd would be smarter than that.

In which country was this in do you know? I don't know if a price like that is even possible in the states lol

This was pre-COVID in suburban midwest, if I recall. On the low-end of the estimate, and nothing happened that required intervention, but certainly possible in the market location. Major city? Good luck.
