Ellen Baker loves rescuing cats, but she will forever have a special place in her heart for Bella, who died recently after a night at a pet hospital.Her beloved tabby cat had died despite 24 hours of tests, lab work and antibiotics."Losing her I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Baker said.Billed thousands for treatmentThat was just the first blow. The second was the bill.Baker said she was confronted with a hefty bill the moment she and a very sick Bella arrived at the vet."I was told, 'You have to pay ,204 up front to cover anything and everything that might need to be done,'" she said.Baker, distraught, handed over her credit card. Refusing to pay would have felt like sentencing Bella to death.The next day, Bella was still sick and the hospital needed another ,000 to continue treatment."The bill in the end was actually ,346," Baker said.Why such high prices?Outrageous? Not according to the hospital's medical director.Jessica Brotherton explained to us they have millions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, from CT scanners to chemo rooms for cancer, and surgeons who perform life-saving surgery unheard of 10 years ago.As for charging up front, she says the hospital was forced to do that after dozens of people brought their pets in for expensive care, left, and never paid the bill.Hospital founder Dr. Doug Hoffman told us "there are certain treatments costs associated with that certain level of care given them, and there is a price associated with that.""Much of the equipment we have is the same you would have in a human hospital," he said.According to Consumer Reports Magazine, the hospital's fees are not unusual. The magazine also says veterinary costs have almost doubled since 2004. An overnight stay for testing typically costs over ,000, a torn ligament repair can cost ,000 and cancer treatment for a dog or cat will cost ,000 at the very least.So how can owners make sure that when their pet eventually gets sick, they're not hit with a surprise ,000 bill?Dr. Wendy Vogel urges her customers to purchase pet insurance ranging from 0 to 0 a year."I wish everyone with a pet had insurance on their pet," Vogel said.Although the cost may seem steep, she says it prevents sticker-shock for major care."They pay 90 percent of it in many cases," Vogel said. "So, if your bill is ,000, you pay only 0 out of pocket, and that allows people to do the things they want to do but could not do without the insurance."The tech site 2516

Despite expanded netting at Minute Maid Park in Houston, a foul ball that was lined off the bat of Chicago Cubs hitter Albert Almora struck a toddler sitting down the left field line on Wednesday. Almora, a 25-year-old Florida native who is in his fourth year as a Cubs outfielder, dropped to his knees in grief as soon as the ball left his bat. The child was carried away to receive medical attention. According to MLB.com reporter Brian McTaggart, Almora went to a security guard to find out the child's condition. He then shared a hug with the guard and multiple teammates. Sportstalk 790 in Houston reported that the child is expected to be okay. 663

During an emotional Staples Center memorial service for NBA legend Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka on Monday detailed text messages between him and Bryant, which may have been the last ever sent by Bryant. Pelinka said that Bryant had texted him while on board the doomed helicopter, which crashed into a Southern California hillside, killing Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others. The nine were en route to a basketball tournament where Bryant would coach his daughter Gianna’s team. Pelinka said he was at his church’s Sunday service at the time, where he normally does not check his phone. But Pelinka said he had the urge to check his phone as “a gentle, other worldly nudge compelled” him to open the message. Pelinka said that Bryant asked him if he knew of a certain baseball agent in Southern California. “Kobe texted back his desire to help a friend of his secure a baseball agency internship for one of his young daughters,” Pelinka said. “Kobe vouched for the girl’s character, intellect and work ethic; he clearly wanted to champion a bright future for her.” Pelinka responded back to Bryant to say he would put in a plan in place to get that done. “A handful of minutes later, Kobe and Gianna and seven other beautiful souls ascended into heaven,” he said. “Kobe had been texting me from the helicopter.“The girl in that text chain he wanted to help so badly was Lexi Altobelli, the surviving daughter of coach John Altobelli, who was on the helicopter. Kobe’s last human act was heroic. He wanted to use his platform to bless and shape a young girl’s future. Hasn’t Kobe done that for all of us?"Pelinka was one of Bryant's closest confidants. Before becoming the Lakers' GM, he was Bryant's long-time agent. Justin Boggs is a writer for the E.W. Scripps National Desk. 1843
