Are you suggesting that a sick person, recovering from an operation, be responsible for researching prices on the parts that were used in surgery? Most do not have the time or expertise for that, nor would anyone want to do it.

Have your spouse/relative shop around for replacement while you recover. Or be destitute for 10 years after being bankrupted by medical bills. I know which one I'd prefer.

Is that a joke? You can find most of those things with a 30 second Google search. I thought this was a forum with technically apt people?
