A woman in New York found out that crying in a doctor’s office can cost you.
YouTuber Camille Johnson says her sister has a rare disease and has been struggling to find appropriate care.
During a recent trip to a clinic, her sibling “got emotional because she feels frustrated and helpless.”
“One tear in and they charged her $40 without addressing why she is crying, trying to help, doing any evaluation, any prescription, nothing,” Johnson said.
Johnson later noted in a Twitter thread that the clinic “charged her more for crying than they did for a vision assessment test.”
Johnson: “They charged her more for crying than for a hemoglobin test. They charged her more for crying than for a health risk assessment. They charged her more for crying than for a capillary blood draw.”
It seems almost too bizarre to be true. Did Johnson make the story up?
Apparently not.
