You are a resident in the emergency room of a large hospital. Michael, a 30-year-old male from a rural area, has fractured his jawbone. He drives for two hours to the emergency room to seek treatment. Michael has no health insurance and is unable to pay for the $12,500 surgery that could realign his jawbone and sets it into place. If he leaves and elects a surgery at a later time, the fracture would most likely set in the wrong position and would need to be carefully broken again and reset correctly. This procedure, however, would cost $48,000. Your attending physician states that the hospital won't be able to afford a $12,500 pro-bono surgery.
Michael is sitting in the patient room, unaware of what will happen. What would you say to him?
