$30 for a gauze pad? Seems reasonable.
And a nurse to put it on you and a Dr. to examine you, and someone to check you in, and another nurse to do triage, and someone to change the linens in the ER room, and someone to clean the place so you don't get infected, and finally some money to pay the electric bill.

Personal services (i.e. Doctors' consultations) are charged and billed separately. So are room charges, both for inpatient rooms and ER visits. Those bills are where their respective overheads belong. The insanely overpriced bandaids and aspirin bills are pure fraud.
