Ok, my 7 year old daughter was playing on the floor with our puppy, firing it up, and the puppy ended up play biting her ear as she moved and made a slightly deep cut and it was from a dog, so the wife was worried, so she brought her in to the ER since it was evening. Well, yesterday I got the bill for it and it's fucking unreal -

$106.00 Sterile Supplies (A piece of paper towel and alcohol whipe)
$157.00 Emergency Room Procedure
$190.00 Emergency Room
$ 58.59 Self Administered Drugs (Tylenol)
$269.00 Physician Services
---------------------------
$780.59 !!!!!

Insurance pay $583.42
My Final Bill $197.17

Ok now, how the fuck can they charge $780 fucking dollars to clean and glue an ear shut ??? I think I'm in the wrong business, I'm gonna package up a piece of paper towl and an alcohol whipe and sell it for $106 and that's exactly what it was, no shit.

The really strange thing that I don't get about it is that they charge $269.00 in "Physician Services", which you'd think would pay for everything that the doctor does, but nope, that's just for him to look at the ear and say "No stitches are needed, break out the glue", then charge charge another $157.00 to glue it shut.

I'm sorry, but this is just fucking retarded. Thank God I got insurance, but I still gotta pay $19717 for it.
