So I was a walking wallet and they were going to get every penny they could.

I personally don't believe that to be the case, particularly at the "doc" level. I've too many doctor friends in my small community, and I've been privy to more than one war story about unnecessary procedures caused by defensive challenges.

Could it be, they were practicing "defensive medicine"? My guess is, "absolutely".

Now, corporately speaking, when it comes to the hospital as an institution, my response to you, of going after every penny they could, would be "absolutely"!

Why, for the life of my, are the hospitals not coming under the microscope of cost reduction scrutiny like the insurance companies?
