This is insane. I live in Iceland. I recently fell off my bike, got a bad cut on my forearm and needed stitches and extensive cleaning of the wound. I visited my local clinic where a nurse cleaned the wound and a doctor applied 5 stitches. The whole process took about 90 minutes with wait. For this visit I paid 500 Icelandic Kronas, about $3.75. Afterwards the wound got infected which required another $3.75 visit and antibiotics treatment costing about 10.000 ISK,rougly $75.
