I feel your pain! I did a similar thing 3 months ago in Texas. Drinking, climbed over a pool fence slipped and broke my collar bone. An ambulance trip + metal plate and $40,000 later I was fixed. I learnt my lesson and will never put myself in that situation again.

no free medical there so the costs add up quickly
hospital stay $$$$
surgeon $$$
Theatre costs $$$
anaesthetist $$$
Pins and plates $$
drugs ( no PBS)$$
Physio $$$$
the US is not a good place to be sick or injured
Makes our "inferior" health system everyone whines about look pretty good
