How much does it cost to get stitches?

When I had 3 stitches put in my thumb at Herrick Hospital in Tecumseh, Michigan, the bill was $1615.00. That's $538.33 per stitch. The procedure took 30 to 40 minutes. I had expected that the bill would be no more than $150.00, but my being billed $1615.00 for 3 stitches was worth my finally knowing that the devil does exist and what group of individuals make up the body of the devil.
