That's just the problem: Cybertechnology says on page 44, "For alpha- and
beta-grade cybersurgery, doctor's fees and hospitalization are 50 times
the rates listed on page 145 of the Shadowrun basic rules." However, page
145 is in the Magic chapter; SR1 has the medical fees on page 145, though,
so now I'll have to check the SSC... Yep, looks like someone copied that
line of text straight out of the Street Samurai Catalog and forgot to
update the page number :)

Anyway, seeing that Cybertechnology gives a 50x multiplier to the costs,
that still makes drastic invasive alpha grade surgery cost 12.5 million,
and puts it out of the reach of just about everyone.
