Hypothetical: I need emergency open heart surgery...I do not farm, I am
Edited on Thu Apr-22-10 05:19 PM by rustydog
not a small business owner. How many times do I have to mow the Cardiologist's lawn to pay off the open heart surgery?

2. If you are a veteran who served in a time of war, nothing
Your definition fits my circumstance December 7th 2009.

Currently rehabilitated (at least physically) from the 3X bypass surgery.

6. However much he'd pay you mowing grass to get to 150K
That's about minimum these days. Could be very much more, astronomical if you have complications and wind up styaing in the ICU longer than necessary to wake up from surgery.

7. You could try bartering heart surgery for sex
That is, if your heart can take it. It's probably a lot more lucrative than lawn-mowing.

8. Judging by the price they charged my husband ....
You probably wouldn't have enough time to mow it enough. His was around $200,000 plus ICU and critical care afterward because the heart condition was secondary to MRSA and there were a lot of complications.

Also there would be the matter of the hospital lawns. For room and board alone without tests, doctors or supplies they charged us $1.5 million dollars.
