I think the interesting thing is that you weren't told ahead of time that you'd be billed $525 for the anesthesiologist's "service."

Suppose they had told you. What would you have done?

If his insurance costs that much how many people did he kill?

It isn't how many he killed, it is how big the settlements/jury awards are for mistakes by people in the insurance pool.

One mistake by a doctor that seriously harms someone, and the malpractice insurer pays out hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is a big risk for the insurer, demanding big premiums. And that means even higher prices for medical services.

Sad, but true.
