Question

Upon returning home from the hospital from a ruptured appendix, a patient receives his hospital bill and finds numerous charges that he does not understand. His wife reviews the bill which is well over $300,000 and realizes that some of the services were never performed since she was with her husband for most of his stay. She calls her son, who is a lawyer, and explains the situation. Upon investigation her son finds many of the charges were false. Discuss this scenario and what can be done. What would you do?

I need 2-3 in-text citations and 2-3 references.
