The $1500 consists of visit (emergency), X-rays, blood work, pancreatic lipase, I/V, meds, week worth of prescription food, overnight stays

Honestly, that sounds reasonable for what you're getting.

The bloodwork is a killer--a lot of times that's sent to an outside lab and they gouge you. ER services aren't cheap either. Someone with 8 years of school has to give up their evenings and weekends to be there for situations like this.
