    Yikes, that was an expensive cut! I couldn't have cleaned it out myself though - and animal bites should be cleaned properly but still... The actual charges for the supplies was $300 with an "emergency room fee"'of $2,100. I guess it costs that much to walk into the door...

    Yep - ER visits are very expensive. My little 2 1/2 hour visit for my gall bladder was about $2600.

    I have selective memory loss of my ER bill from the bike wreck last year - but it included x-rays, knee brace, and crutches. Seemed it took a couple of months for my portion of the bill to come.

    Shall we compare tomorrow's surgery bill???

    Ha! Mine was $12,000 for six hours, including the helicopter ride and the morphine drip.
