<prompt> Human: Over 2 weeks ago I got a bad case of tonsillitis. I could not eat or drink without being in extreme pain, and I hadnt slept in 4 days. So yesterday I went to the ER to get some better medicine and figure out. I got a CT scan and examined and given my meds.When I went to billing I learned it was 1k for everything. This is my first time having to pay my own medical bills and this wiped out all my savings.Now I am depressed and trying to get my head around spending this much for a few hours in a hospital for 2 weeks worth of meds.Any advice to get over this and come to terms with how much I spent?  <response>: Instead of worrying about spending so much, think about how much worse it could have been. This is exactly what savings are for: emergencies. You may have wiped out your savings, but you were able to pay for it and not go into debt, stretching out the payment and worry.
