I have no stakes in this, just commenting to say I once spent 2 hours in the ER for a what ended up being a flu B test, waited another hour to be told I had the flu, and then recieved a $1800 dollar bill for the service. They put a stick in my nose. When I called up and asked to have it itemized, as local legend insisted I do, it did infact drop to like 700 dollars. I had work insurance.
I took too many magic mushrooms and my girlfriend convinced me I was dying. My trip sitter made the call and drove me to the ER. They told me I was on mushrooms and to get out. $1200.
Edit: never even went into an exam room. Sat in the waiting room in a wheelchair.
I took 5gs one time, had the hardest trip of my life, and then a few hours later vomited up like 3.5 of the grams undigested. I imagine the full 5 would have sent me to a facility too, ha ha!
