wife sliced her hand pretty bad. took 9 stitches to mend up, and, she's lost the feeling in one finger. end of the day we were >$2k out of pocket - it might have been $2200, not $2400 - we got a few different bills, and paid some 'up front' in the emergency waiting area (after triage). Sitting in a room waiting for medical attention, and someone comes in with a rolling POS asking for payment. insane.
