I thought the care was good, but the TCH charges were obscenely high, considering what was done. I brought my 5 year old son here when he swallowed a quarter and started to complain of a pain in his throat. We were initially admitted to the ER where we remained for ~4 hours until a treatment room opened up and then we spent ~ 8 hours there. During our 12 hour stay, we got two x-rays, spoke to a doctor for a total of ~10 minutes, and only received two bags of saline for hydration, but no other medication. TCH charges for 12 hours of "care" (us sitting in various rooms) amounted to over $5,000 and this will cost us ~$2,750 after insurance adjustments. I understand that TCH is a business, but this amount for glorified baby-sitting is just absurd.
