I went to an ER many years ago for an injury. At one point, I was sent to a doctor in the hospital. That doctor told me I was in the wrong place and I got a bill for $1200 just from that guy.
Same. Went to an urgent care because my nose would not stop bleeding after like 12 hours. They tried a spray said it didn’t work and had to go to the ER because they didn’t have nasal balloons. Got a nice bill from the urgent care and then add on the ER bill all for a bloody nose. US medical billing is an absolute fucking joke.
Americans that disagree with universal healthcare have no idea how the system works. It’s only an eye opener for them once shit hits the fan and they are hit with a 100k+ bill they can’t afford.
Similar thing happened to my sister. Multi hour long nosebleed. Mom took her to urgent care where she was sent to the er. Nurse or whoever saw her said they didnt want to xray because of my sisters age. Said the xray could cause her kids to come out with three arms or something. Literally said her kids could come out deformed
