Default Cannot Understand Villages Hospital

I am inviting comments on my following post. A few weeks ago I had a serious injury to my arm that required stitches. The Village's Emergency Room PA did a wonder job and advised me to return in ten days to have the stitches removed. He said it would only take a few minutes. I did everything he advised, on the tenth day I returned to the hospital, and was not happy that I was required to go thru the entire ER admitting process, arm band and all. Two days ago I received a bill for $287 for having ten stitches removed. Today I talked with the hospital accounting dept. and was told " that's the way we do it "... I have had numerous surgeries and removing stitches were always a part of the original surgery.
