Isn't it awful that they charged so much for a fart that goes up in thin air? Not even a solid object that you can put a price tag on. You should have paid them with invisible money.

LOL! You were so "full of it!" Too funny! I know the feeling; I've had panic disorder for many years now -- but some of my first panic attacks were frightening and I got taken by ambulance from work to Vanderbilt Hospital here in Nashville, thinking I was having a heart attack and was going to die! All that commotion, and all that money, just because I was hyperventilating. . . . Sheesh! No grim reaper, but a "bouncer" jumped me when I left, about my bill! They had my insurance cards; what more did they want? Nashville's TriStar chain of hospitals is doing that now. Bouncers attack you on the way out of the ER, if your insurance is pokey with payment! Even if you still feel half-dead, you will be pounced upon! I am reluctant to go to the ER anymore because of it; even if I were afraid I was dying, I'd likely talk myself out of going to the hospital, precisely because of those pouncers! Glad you're okay, sorry your wallet took a hit, but you scored a hit here from it! (Hope that helps?!)

Very funny. The ER charge seems very inexpensive compared to the ones around here. That was one expensive fart!
