We had to take Ophelia to the hospital two weeks ago. This was an after hours visit to what I thought was an emergency room. We saw two nurses and a doctor. There was a blood test and a dose of..
the French version of Tylenol. We do not have a Carte Vitale or carte de mutuelle. Our insurance was from America and the nurse just didn't make a copy or enter any information.
We were waiting on the bill, figuring that it might be high as an uninsured visit or even an urgent care visit has cost us anywhere between $150-$1,000 dollars.
Got the bill today, actually it had been stuck in the mailbox for a week. Total cost of the visit- 39.23 Euros. So there's that.

Yep socialized health care has its perks!
Weird hospital things- The rooms where patients wait to be seen are called 'boxes'... EP waited in Box 3.
Is EP doing better?
oh wow
Sam, she is. Much better.
Also- we had Norwegian Coffee with our friends downstairs
With Brown Cheese
and cloudberry jam with Brioche bread and whipped cream.
What are cloudberries?!
it was all very good. the cheese was really really sharp.

In the US, in an ER, I would have bet 500+. Great deal
Consider that my ER co-pay with the more expensive insurance plan through my work is $250 per visit.
We won't talk about my and EP's expenses from November/December... 
but a quick recap: my ER visit, hospitalization, dr visits, procedures, EP's xray and dr visit.. blech.
our bills here have been a nice reprieve, lol
