wow, the price has gone UP.
when i was there, the price was $40 for the ER
and then the script was about $10

i certainly hope that the man that thought he was stroking was triaged and stable before he had to wait all of that time.

will u submit to your USA health insrance?
was the bill written in english?

The man next to me who thought he was having a stroke (and had to wait almost 3 hours to be seen) paid $19.00 (plus the $90).
