Tv is expensive! - Aeolian - 03-13-2016
Morning Sinister,
The TVs at the hospital are very expensive at like $15 per day here, when i was in hospital recently i wanted to watch the second football game for this year which caused me to pay $15.
How much does TV cost where you fellas live? (I"m Australian)

In Aussie land, the cost Is very much the same In all public hospitals. Around the figure you've mentioned.
When I was In hospital, the TV was left on (from the previous patient) so I just let It be. Then they tried to slap me with the bill and I basically told them where to go. I said that I didn't ask for It, so why should I pay for a service I didn't request? Of course, they didn't get a single penny from me.

Wow I hear this for the first time, In our hospitals in Serbia you barely have TV's, but in some hospitals where you have it, you dont have to pay anything.....yet...

Haha lucky catch, and i completely agree you don't have to pay for something you did not request right? Good job for standing up for your self.

What a rip off.
One time, on my sister's bill, there was $15 for a small cup of orange juice (it was one of those tiny disposable cups)....

I've been in the hospital for probably like 1/4th my life and I've never been charged for watching TV.

Why have you spent such a long time in the hospital?

Try to search for an application called KODI. You'll get it for free.
