Avoid unnecessary hospital bills

[vermicious knid]

My advice to everybody is to, right now, search for an urgent care clinic near you. Know where it is so if you have a non life-threatening issue, you can go there instead of the hospital. I cut my hand deep today, and I think I saved a bunch of money by getting my stitches at an urgent care clinic. The cost: $347. I waited less than ten minutes before I was taken back by a nurse.

What experiences have you had with emergency care?
