- Alan S. Mazer says that I shouldn't have gone into the Huntington Emergency
- Room for a sprained ankle. At the time I thought it was broken.
-
- My complaint is the physician billing $300 for his service. I was separately
- billed another $300 by Huntington for the facilities, so that's not included.
- I was separately billed another couple of hundred bucks by the radiologist,
- so that's not included either.
-
- My orthopedist charges $300 total for his service, X-ray, and his facilities
- all included, and he is considerably more experienced and renowned than
- the e.r. physician.
