Andrew got bitten by one of the feral kittens a few weeks ago, and the little
managed to bite through one of Andrew's fingernails (amongst other puncture wounds in his hands).
I was worried that we wouldn't be able to clean out the puncture in his fingernail properly, so tried to book into the doctor to get onto a course of antibiotics. They couldn't squeeze us in, so we tried going to "Urgent Care", and they were closing, so told us just to go up to the ER.
If we had have got into the doctor it would have cost $10. We just got the hospital bill, and we are responsible for $415 of the total of $4000 or so. We spent maybe 10 minutes in there, and got a prescription for antibiotics and some antiseptic put on the puncture wounds. How the heck can that cost over $4000????? And how can they charge us $415 just for that??
We paid about $1200 for my open heart surgery - apparently a prescription and antibiotics is worth 1/3 of the cost of open heart surgery, ICU and a 5 day hospital stay...
Most expensive kittens ever...
