Ok, mine is way less than her, but at one of the ER in Wisconsin, they sent me a bill of $400 for literally telling me that I have no disease and sending me back. Out of that, the insurance paid $300, and I paid 100 out of my pocket.
I had gone to ER only because it was at an odd time and no other hospital was open.

- falsedan 8y agoLay people don't have the training to determine if an ailment is life-threatening or not; that's why they pay for insurance, so they can see a medical professional who is qualified to say if you could die or not.
- assblaster 8y agoYou can say that about 100% of medical complaints. Emergency rooms should be for emergencies. You yourself will know if you are about to die.
- piyush_soni 8y agoYou mean one should wait until the signs show with certainty that they're about to die before going to the ER? That'd a bit of a stretch :). Of course, I went because I thought it was an emergency (though I can see your definition of 'emergency' is quite different from mine). It's not like I went because I had cold.
