Medical equipment pricing is completely broken when a sling costs $200
I just got an itemized bill today for a minor fall I took a couple months back..<p>On top of the nearly $6k in other charges from the hospital, they charged $531 for one dab of superglue or &quot;liquid stitches&quot; on my forehead for something that would have healed by itself.<p>One of my friends died two years ago from pneumonia. He didn&#x27;t go to the hospital when symptoms first started because he was afraid of the bills that would come from it.<p>They don&#x27;t ask you if you want to spend $500 for a dab of glue on your forehead, they just do it and you&#x27;re essentially writing them a blank check in the process. I hate our medical system.
