two code blues on hospital bill Posted: 02-11-08 12:14pm


Hello, I have a question. My dad died of a heart attack last month, and we finally received the bill from the hospital. I have a question: There are TWO Code Blue's listed on the bill (at about $1500 a piece)... what does that mean? Were they able to get his heart started? And then it stopped again? Any info would help. Thanks.

Code blue means "medical emergency" in hospital talk. Code Blue is a signal given over the intercom when a patient's heart has stopped and a team speeds to the bedside to try to revive the person.
