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.
Mine was $5000 for an ambulance ride and saline. I was unconscious and they took my credit card and maxed it out ($500 limit lol). Called them later and they gave me a hastily written receipt that said "Diagnosis of possible marijuana injection" because they picked me up from a place where people were smoking and the price was $2500. The saline was $500 and they billed me $2000 for a bed (which was a cot in the hallway).
I literally had to walk myself out of the hospital because no one knew who I was or what was going on when I came to.
Ended up getting them to scratch the entire bill after a couple phone calls.
American ERs are total scams
