US citizen Cynthani McAllister went viral on social media when she shared her story about how a simple fart cost her hospital bill more than R$43,000. His story, posted on TikTok on March 5, has been viewed more than 2.1 million times.
In the video, Sinthani describes how she woke up with unbearable abdominal pain and had to be taken to the emergency room, on suspicion that her appendix had ruptured. After a CT scan, she was surprised to make an unusual finding: there was nothing wrong with her appendix. Who is responsible for your pain? fart.
The wind, as Sinthani described it, was so strong that the smell was unbearable. However, after releasing it, I immediately felt relief and less pain. But the real shock came days later, when he received the hospital bill at home. The full medical care cost her US$8,621, or about R$43,125.
Sinthani, who did not have health insurance, was shocked by the exorbitant amount charged for the simple fart procedure. Her story was a humorous wake-up call about rising health care costs in the United States, and left viewers surprised at the unexpected consequences of something as common as farting.
