““In Kujawa v. Baltimore Transit Co., 224 Md. 195, 208 , 167 A. 2d 96 (1961) we said: “ ‘The medical bills, absent a showing of reasonableness, were properly excluded. Evidence of the amount or payment of medical bills does not establish the reasonable value of the services for which the bills were rendered or justify recovery therefor. * * *» “To the same effect see Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis R.R. Co. v. Kimmey, 141 Md. 243 , 118 A. 648 (1922).””
