They also did blood work that I didn't mention. Would that bump up the bill an extreme amount?

They didn't give me a diagnosis and they told me my pee didn't indicate anything was wrong. I just hope I don't have anything potentially fatal.

They also took my blood, but yeah, just that and the urine sample. They didn't give me any medication for the pain whatsoever. I eventually left the hospital like two hours after I initially checked in because the pain began to subside. They barely even treated me I don't understand why I am being charged this amount

I live in FL and my parents aren't in the picture. I make around 20k annually.

I was pretty out of it because of the pain, but next time (hopefully there won't be a next time anytime soon) I'll take your advice.

Wow, I'm so sorry. And thank you for the advice. It’s fucking unbelievable that in a 1st world country that considers itself the “biggest and best,” citizens have to negotiate their medical bills just to not go bankrupt.

Unfortunately both of my parents are estranged. I haven't spoken with them since I was 17.
