You should be able to contact the hospital and negotiate that bill much lower since you don't have insurance.

Yeah I read an article in time and you can VERY often negotiate a lower bill. If they think that you're not going to pay it and declare bankruptcy you can very much have a good chance of lowering it.

It looks rough now, but things have a way of working themselves out.

Probably scraped his knee. Hospitals are stupid with people who don't have insurance and charge them often several times what they bill an insurance provider for, to recoup money they know they won't make no most of their clients. Not very nice is it?
