Cut under eye. 15 minutes of suturing. $5000 bill. What's your worst experience with US health care?

I know this bill is a pathetic in size compared to what some people deal with. But it's just shocking that something so simple, quick, and uncomplicated could cost so much. No IV, no drawing blood, no tests, no other examination or procedure. Just hours of waiting and 15 minutes of sewing... $5000. WTF?
