Nothing about the situation required an expert opinion and the pediatrician made a pretty poor decision to boot. It was abundantly clear that the wound just needed stitches, that's not something I can do myself. In the future I might just get some Vetbond, because if I had that on hand that would have been preferable to the care received from paying an expert $120. No other developed country on the planet is this backwards when it comes to health care.

I'm fine with paying a premium for trained professionals, I'm fine with paying doctors a high wage. $120 is crazy for a doctor who already has an opening in their schedule taking less than 10 minutes to glance at a wound and slap some steri-strips on it.
