How much does a heart transplant really cost?

I don't like NIN, but that's really cool of them.

They're getting close. They can be $700,000 in some cases more.

$700,000?! No wonder the NHS is fucked if relatively routine and common procedures cost that much.

yeah, i was gonna say its not really routine, but i definitely do agree that the NHS is screwed and medical expenses are beyond ridiculous when compared to the rest of the world. this fan is really lucky to have all this support.

schaft0620 05/27/09 10:41 AM

according to TR its at or over 800k

holy freakin crap

What a great gesture.

Anyone have a good place to read a bio on Reznor? A buddy was telling me some "facts" about him today at lunch, and I went to cross check them on wikipedia and didnt find them...
