Actually what the hell did you go to the ER for that was fixed in 5 minutes? They can not even do sutures in 5 minutes.

The $400 was just the doctors bill for 5 minutes of his time. That was not the whole ER bill. The nurses did most of the work and it was not fixed in 5 minutes. The wait was actually 3 or 4 hours to be seen, which is normal for here. Then I waited to see the doctor for about half an hour. He then saw me for 5 minutes and let the nurses take over. I think the whole bill was over $1500, but insurance pays it. I just have a $50 co-pay.
I was there for Paxil withdrawl. Which I learned is scary and painful. Weird thing is there was another person there for the exact some thing. The ER doctor had no idea what to do so he called poison control for information.
