She wasn't on IV antibiotics. They just wanted to monitor her because she was weak and had high WBC count. No insurance company in the US would pay for this. Which is understandable given what hospitals in the US charge. When I fell down some stairs in Toronto and was taken to the ER by ambulance, x-rayed twice for a broken hip and sent back to my hotel with a wheelchair, they billed me, since I live in the US. Total charge: $350.
