I feel like I got scammed today by a medical clinic and felt rather down after thinking about it.
So basically two weeks ago, I went to stitch up a small wound on my knee which cost me around 2000 dollars.
Then today, I went back to the same clinic and removed the stitches which cost more than 100 dollars.
Additionally, the doctor gave me a bandage to cover the wound which cost 50 dollars. He also gave botox injection in the wound which he said was supposed to heal faster but wasnt mentioned earlier?
Just wanted to understand who have a similar experience where just stitching and unstitching a wound can cost up to a few thousand dollars?
And why does the bandage cost 50 dollars when it is just wrapping it on the wound?
Did I really got scammed or is medical bills really so expensive now?
Editor’s note: The stitches made of what? Gold ah?
