Slick

A couple of weeks ago, my son was playing around and got a deep cut on his forhead, so we figured that it was best to bring him in. It was in the evening, so we were forced to go to the emergency room.

They got us into the room right away, then we had to wait for about 45 minutes. Finally the doctor came in, looked at the cut, then recommended that they glue it rather than stitch it. He got a bottle of peroxide and towel to clean it, then he took out a little tube of glue and glued it shut, it took less than 10 minutes.

Well, today I got the bill and here's their charges -

$68.00 M/S Supply Sterile Supply
$130.00 Emergency Room General
$141.00 Emergency Room Other
$321.00 Prof Fees Emergency Room
---------------------------------------------
$660.00 TOTAL

I think that's fucking unreal how they can charge $660.00 to glue a kid's head shut. If it wasn't on his forehead, I probably could've let it slide, but figured that it was in an obvious place that it should be glued to minimize scaring. I never dreamed it'd cost that much, I was thinking more like $400 at most. I sure was wrong.

That's a prime example of dry ass raping.
