YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA college student who accidentally cut his finger went to the emergency room and now has a GIANT bill. Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich and Kim Horcher the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Last summer, Matt Anderson cut his finger on a knife while doing dishes. He’s a college student, and his roommate, a biology major, suggested that he go to the emergency room. He had recently used the same knife to cut raw meat and thought Anderson’s finger might get infected.
Anderson estimates he got to the emergency room around 11 pm. A nurse saw him shortly after midnight and cleaned his wound. A doctor came by a little later to apply liquid stitches to his finger. Anderson went home around 1 am.
