What happened was the hospital weote it off. It doesn't detract from the fact that it was thousands initially. Also that's just for the ride. If they need to stabilize you in any way it's going to increase drastically. When my ex-wife was pregnant with our first child she caught valley fever and we went to the emergency room. While there a tatted-up tough as nails gang-banger came in cradling his elderly dad in his arms. He was crying hysterically that his father was having a heart attack and please help. The lady at the front desk tossed a clipboard at him and told him to fill it out and have a seat. His father was turning blue. He cried please help he's dying and her response was he should have taken an ambulance. He replied his dad didnt want to cuz he cant afford it. While crying while holding his dying father. An EMT was coming out from just having dropped someone off. He heard all this go down and told the guy to call 911. He did while the EMT took his father and placed him on the gurney to wheel him outside. He then turned around and came right back in, past the receptionist screaming at him and wheeled dude's father to the back while ignoring her. This same hospital that night told my 7 months pregnant wife with coughing fits and lesions on her legs to go home they dont have a treatment for valley fever and tried to charge us for an overnight stay and stabilization. Fuck the healthcare system in the US it's completely insane. I have way too many horror stories I've experienced personally to ever have faith in it.
