My daughter hit her eyebrow on her bed at like 9pm on a Sunday (no urgent care was open). It was questionable on if it needed stitches and I didnt want her to scar so we played it safe and took her to the ER. They ended up just super gluing it shut...We just got the bill today and the hospital charged $2,900 for super glue and to check her blood pressure.

My daughter broke her arm a couple months ago. They did a reduction in the ER, but we were back less than six hours later because after the reduction, she lost all feeling in her two little fingers. We waited in triage for hours. During that time, I gave her Children’s Tylenol from my purse. When we were called back, I let the nurse know I had given her Tylenol in the waiting room.

Guess what they charged me for when the bill came? Yea, they actually charged me $10 or me to administer my own Tylenol purchased from a drug store.

What did they say when you disputed that?

They said basically, "well we don't have a code for when a patient administers their own meds. We just have a general code. But I'll remove it from the bill."
