Woke up nauseaous, vomited about five times, and the last one included blood so I went to the emergency room. I spoke to a doctor for less than five minutes and received no imaging. There was one routine blood draw and an IV with saline and Zofran.

God damn America. $3042 to walk in the door. I could have literally flown back to England and been seen at an NHS hospital for a 5th of the cost.

    A year and a half ago I went to the er and thought the 2500 bucks I paid at the front covered the visit until I got a 10k dollar bill in the mail a month later. I had been there for maybe all of an hour lol 🙃

      The billing system is just a cat batting at a miniature replica of the Wheel of Fortune
