Husband went to Bangkok to execute all the necessary documents of our son. And I, I get used to my new status a little and finally wanted to get enough sleep, went to the leadership of the clinic. For justice. After all, according to the official price tag, the birth in this medical institution is 26,900 baht (read rubles), if epidural anesthesia is used, then 4,000 more needs to be selected. However, when I have already begun, the hospital representatives "adjusted" the price of anesthesia - 20 thousand instead of four, that is, the cost of the entire package has already become 46,900.

The most funny thing is that the question of the price (which was interested in the first place) we discussed literally per minute or two.
