GGD,
What about the original emergency room visit? Who's paying for that? What about all the additional expenses related to the surgery at the hospital? Who's paying for them? The doctor's fee is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to expenses and I sure as heck hope she has to pay for all of them out of her own pocket. I stand by what I said about her dumbassery.

Presumably, her insurance paid for most of her first visit to the hospital before she got the publicity. She said that she needed $1,000 to cover emergency room expenses and that sounds pretty close to what I paid the last time I went to the ER with insurance.
The doctor who performed the procedure covered the expenses for it. He did not just waive his own fees.
Beyond that, with this publicity came a GoFundMe to cover expenses related to this. She has promised that with the procedure provided for free the bulk of the GoGundMe money ($20K) will go to the Restore Foundation to help provide reconstructive surgery to those born with congenital or or accidental deformities, primarily children
