 Were you OP? Hope you or they are recovering, and that bill is quite reasonable. 
 I’m not the OP just saw that on Reddit and made me think of all the social media posts I’ve seen of American hospital bills. I’m fine and in fact in Wellington the ambulance is free so the bill would be $0. Which means you don’t get a bill to share online. I’ve had to learn to call an ambulance or go to the doctor without worrying about the cost. Last week we called one just because my partner was feeling faint, turns out it was low blood sugar, but there was no cost and the EMTs were happy to be there to help.  
 What a world compared to here! Humans are so good at their core - nice when they can lean into that instead of against it because of a bad system.
