  1. I had knee surgery to fix a torn meniscus as well as a calcium phosphate injection to address cartilage loss in February. The total bill for the 8 hour hospital stay & surgery was $120k. The medical center where the surgery was performed was a single $89k line item. The insurance company ended up paying $15k for the entire procedure while my portion was $2k. I realize I went to a highly rated surgeon but I don’t understand the pricing scheme at all.

  12. A truly great series, one of all-time favorites. Here are some pictures taken right after the accident: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2019/06/chernobyl-disaster-photos-1986/590878/ with these being my favorites since they show how accurate the film tried to be:
