Woman Billed $700 After Waiting In ER For 7 Hours, Leaving Without Treatment


According to Fox5: "A woman said she was billed for a trip to the emergency room, even though she didn't receive any treatment. Taylor Davis said she went to the Emory Decatur Hospital ER in July for a head injury.  She sat in the waiting room for hours, but with no end in sight, she decided to leave.  'I sat there for seven hours. There's no way I should be sitting in an emergency room.. an emergency room for seven hours,' she said." 

A few weeks go by and boom, Taylor received a bill for almost $700(!) from the hospital….the same hospital where she sat for 7 hours in the waiting room without even having her vitals taken. Interesting, very interesting indeed. Sounds like maybe there is a greater issue here at play, but that's none of our business. The field of medicine sees some wildly insane occurrences, like these absurd medical misconceptions or stupid things medical patients did that made it worse.
