A quick trip to the hospital



A quick trip to the hospital today highlighted the need for a savings account for unexpected medical costs. Raju had a serious fall, splitting open his head and leaving him a little dazed. Instead of immediately seeking medical attention there was much debate about whether the cost of medical treatment was worth a trip to the hospital.


The injury was minor. The consultation ended up costing 80NR ($US1.12), an amount the home did not have set aside. It is hoped in future a funds will be set up to cover unexpected medical costs.
