I believe @saifedean is correct. If BTC becomes universal money and grows 2-3% a year in an economy, I would be comfortable loaning money at 0% nominal interest. I might even loan it at -1% interest (partial forgiveness) since the value returned will be greater in both cases.

Hospitals hide these rules hoping you panic and reach for a credit card.
Bypass the phone operators and send this exact email to their billing department:
"I am formally disputing this balance under the Federal No Surprises Act. Please send a fully itemized statement with all CPT billing codes, along with your Financial Assistance Policy and application mandated by IRS Section 501(r). Place this account on a mandatory 30-day billing hold while I review these codes and complete the federal paperwork."
Once Legal sees "CPT codes" and "Section 501(r)" in writing, they usually wipe or slash the balance just to avoid an audit.
Why is it legal for non-profit hospitals to charge $4,000 for an ER visit while hiding the exact federal laws meant to protect patients?

🚨Radiologists, read this if you don't want to get sued 🚨
I see this mistake a lot and it drives me bananas.
Radiology sees an opacity on chest radiograph and diagnoses pneumonia.
But, pneumonia is a *clinical* diagnosis that shouldn't be made in the radiology reading room.
When the radiologist makes an excessively confident diagnosis of pneumonia, this may lead to premature diagnostic closure & unnecessary antibiotics. (These over-aggressive "pneumonia" interpretations put a LOT of pressure on the treating team to give antibiotics.)
Usually in the cases I'm involved with the "pneumonia" ends up being atelectasis or CHF, but it could also be an unusual cancer or PE. Chest radiograph is a blunt survey tool that isn't good at making a specific diagnosis.
Folks make fun of radiologists for hedging on their reads, but that's a conservative & safe way that they should be practicing.
(PS - There's also a LOT else wrong with this case, like not getting a PE protocol CT scan. The differential diagnosis on this retrocardiac opacity may include pulmonary infarct due to PE. For a patient with 30 pack-years tobacco history presenting with hemoptysis, only getting a chest radiograph is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. The chest radiograph will generally be insufficient and you're almost always going to need a PE protocol CT. Not ordering a CT angiogram isn't the radiologist's fault.)

Senator-elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed overcame >$68 MILLION in spending by AIPAC and their allies. #MISEN
This is how it used to be 30 years ago.
Each RVU paid a lot more back then.
You can’t be a practicing radiologist if you are verifying the clinical context of every CXR by contacting the referring provider.
You might have a 10 RVU day with that workflow. You would spend more time on the phone or on hold.
Just say “clinical correlation” and move on

And remember all that trouble to only get paid $5 to read a chest xray.
My final observation is that CXRs are some of the most challenging exams we read in radiology. The findings are visually subtle and nonspecific. The ROC curve is unforgiving.
Help out your radiologists. Give pertinent history and a clinical question.

The plaintiff's radiology expert stated that on his blind review, he identified the right infrahilar prominence suspicious for a mass or adenopathy. He opined that missing this was a departure from standard of care.

The first radiologist and his practice were sued.
The complaint alleged that a cancerous right lower lobe mass was already visible on the original film and had not been identified or reported. It described stage IIIA disease at diagnosis.
The plaintiff’s theory was that a missed right hilar/infrahilar abnormality (arrow) delayed diagnosis and allowed tumor progression. The interval from the first film to the tissue diagnosis was more than eight months.
