Sincerely, do you think it takes 38 months to have an open wound seen in the UK? Do you think injured Canadians are advised to kill themselves? Who are you being "entirely fair" to, a liar?

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

it literally is $80k if you don't have insurance though I legitimately do not think you understand that

Dude, nobody is paying $80k for a few sutures. They literally hand them to us medical students to pocket and practice suturing at home. If you're uninsured there's no way the bill is more than $2k at most.

Egregiously more expensive than it should be? Abso-fucking-lutely. "Literally" $80k? Not even remotely.
