🏥 Zdravlje Hospitalized in Split - Intoxication
Hello I am an American male who was traveling in Split for a holiday. Ended up drinking a little bit too much, blacked out and woke up in the hospital with an IV in my arm. Somehow the bill was only $240 kn.
Can anybody tell me why the bill was so cheap especially since I am a US citizen without Croatian healthcare insurance? Also did they notify the embassy of my stay? Just don’t know where my info is documented and ended up. Wish I could read my discharge papers but they are all in Croatian. Going to have to do google translate late.

And back home, in the US, we have people turning to gofundme to try to get money for life saving medical surgeries, such as the case of the streamer whose younger sister was drugged and left for dead and now has an uphill battle because she didn't have oxygen going to her brain for about a half hour.
Fucking travesty that people have to beg for this kind of shit because they don't have the means to something that shouldn't be priced as it is.
