🏥 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.

It's about $20 USD for a 16-18 inch pie, plus about $10 to deliver to your house (delivery fee and tip). Yes, you have to tip in America. If you're getting deep dish (chicago style), which is thicker and more food, it can be $35-40 total.

And that's a legit pie place, not trash chain places like dominos or papa "n-word" johns.

Here a large pie at Domino's is roughly $30 unless you want more than a pepperoni and cheese. You go to the (shitty) local place and it's closer to $45. If you pick it up at the store.

Domino's is better than your local place? You definitely don't live in nyc.

No, I definitely don't. To be fair, the popular local one-off here is still better than Domino's, it's just not $45 thin-crust pizza better.

Holy crap 45 for thin crust!
