Sorry about your friend.

Similar to your situation, I went to a dermatologist concerned about a bump. Turned out to be a skin tag which she cheerily said "We can take care of this right now" and snipped. That snip cost $250 (wasn't on the genitals but was close enough for them to bump up the cost). I called their billing company and spoke to their office manager. She said that "the doctor just wants to make sure customers are happy and doesn't really concern herself with the billing part" when I brought up that if something is going to cost something they should say so upfront if it's something not necessary.

Thanks for the heads up about the glue. They really do take advantage even when you're a bad situation.
