About a week ago I was sitting at breakfast in a Greek hotel when suddenly,
an provoked mother of all nose bleeds got me. It was steady and when I
blocked my nostril the blood starting pouring out of the other one and out
of my mouth. *Fortunately I remembered to pinch my nose, the hotel had a
taxi take me to the local emergency room. I walked in still bleeding an
covered with it in shirt. *I did not sit down, the nurses saw me and dragged
me into a room, stuffed something my nose and taped it into place. *I was
cleaned up and left.

Charge?? None. Cost to me was for the taxi trip and and from the clinic.
About $10 total.

Socialized medicine once again. *No charge, no wait.

I bled all over the hotel, but the house dog cleaned that up.

This was my first experience with emergency room care.
