Have you ever wondered what it costs to keep a person alive when they are on the brink of death? Thanks to a post by a suicide survivor who started a rash of posts concerning hospital costs for the mortally challenged we know that the hospital bill for suicide management can be from 10K to 100K. Oliver Jordan clocked up 25,000 likes and hundreds of responses to his post with some people saying it cost them 10K to 20K for a US emergency room visit. Once a patient enters a hospital they can racked many charges often without realising what the end bill will be.

In memory of MDC.

    Professors may have developed this nuttiness, but millennials put it into reproduction.

    FTFY.
    The professors of the '60-'70-ies developed contraceptives and allowed abortions as a way to deal with the nuttiness [wikipedia.org].
    The health system in US made that expensive and the religious nuts (almost) made it illegal - don't blame the millenials.
