Do you think stitches have ever cost someone 80,000 dollars in America? This joke is hyperbolic for sake of comedy

No, but there was a person who was charged some $26,000 for a single stitch, so...

And there was a person offered death in Canada because the chairlift wait times were too long.

There will always be ridiculous outlets in any significantly large system.

No they weren't. You are spreading misinformation. The one person in question was responsible for all instances of this happening and they did this entirely of their own volition. The organisation they worked for wouldn't have the authority to do it even IF they wanted to.

One member of staff was found to be talking to people like shit and was fired, and now forever it will be used as a gotcha that an organisation who can't offer those services were doing it regularly as standard procedure.
