What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My wife and daughter came in to see me after recovering from surgery. As we were talking, my daughter caught sight of the catheter bag that had some blood in it and fainted.
The nurses insisted on taking her to the ER to be checked out. Both my wife and I responded that she would be ok, she's just a bit squeemish and needed a few minutes.
The nurses and doctors wouldn't hear of it and brought over a gurney saying she needed to be looked at.
My wife was torn between going with our daughter and staying with me but went ahead and followed her. They took my daughter in, shoved some papers at her telling her to sign (she is 20), and made her sit for about 20 min.
When the doctor came in, he asked why she was there and my daughter said she didn't know. My wife explained what happened and the doctor looked at my daughter briefly and released her.
Outside my wife checked my daughter and felt a bump on her head so went and asked for some ice.
My daughter just got the bill - $3,154! Is there any way to dispute that?
