 How much does it cost to have your leg cut off? I bet you didn't wake up this morning thinking you were gonna answer that question. The hospital bill alone for my leg amputation was drum roll please, $118,000. Now that does not include some of the surgeon expenses, some other specialists I saw during the process, but basically it was 120 grand to have my leg chopped off. It seems a little bit excessive honestly, like they're gaining a body part out of this. I'm losing one. Shouldn't they give it away for like free? And that does not even start to include how expensive my prosthetic leg was. Crazy.
