So here's the deal
One of my employees cut their finger with a knife while working at one of my Restaurants. It was a very small 1/4" long cut but quite deep so we sent her off to the local emergency room to have it looked at just in case. She sat patiently for 3 hours waiting to be seen, as it was deemed she was not an urgent case ( thats fine it was a very small cut but to avoid problems further along its best to have these things taken care of professional right ?)

Ok so she's seen by one nurse who takes a quick look and disappears another nurse drops in and says its fine you dont need a stitch we will just glue it with skin glue and give you a tetanus jab. Great so after exactly 5 minute of treatment my employee leaves feeling fine. She come into work next day and the cut is almost gone it was so small.

The crunch comes when i get a call today from their billing department This person told me the cost of the treatment to which i replied you have to be FUCKING joking she said thats why you have workers comp insurance. To which i replied i pay workers comp to protect my employees not to allow you or your company to rip them off by charging unbelievably high amounts for 5 minutes work.

So just in case im over reacting id like someone to give me an idea of what something like this should reasonable cost, 5 minute treatment i jab for tetanus and one drop of crazy glue thats it absolutely nothing else ?
