Yeah, hospitals are crazy. I know a year ago my son split his forehead open pretty good, it wasn't bleading, but it was one of those big open wounds that needed stitches of glue.

We went in the emergency room and one of the nurses came in with a little kit which had a cleaning towel and a little tiny tube of glue which she cleaned up the cut, then glued it shut.

A couple of weeks later, I got the bill, they charged me $490, $65 of that was for the little paper towel and the single use stick of medical super glue. The other $425 was for the nurse (note it WASN'T even a doctor) to glue him up which didn't take long.
