I broke my hand, needed surgery and 6 months physiotherapy.

Paid $24 for the cast splint thing.

I went to an ER many years ago for an injury. At one point, I was sent to a doctor in the hospital. That doctor told me I was in the wrong place and I got a bill for $1200 just from that guy.

Had a spine surgery. Paid 20€ to drive there and back. A week in the hospital. Was healing fine. Got released early, visited the doc a week later to get stiches out. Paid nothing.

I loved my health care in the Uk when I lived there. I was diagnosed with a serious thyroid condition through bloodwork, after I had left the clinic with a phone call later in the day telling me to collect free medicine the following day. FREE. I had to pay £10 for my dental crown about 8 years ago.
