Question

How much did 7 stitches cost suelo in the man who quit money

Answer 1

Answer:

7 stitches cost Suelo 1,000 bucks.

Explanation:

"There was one time when Suelo did, in fact, accept medical help that was not  given freely. Visiting his brother Doug in 2004 and helping build shelves, he  gashed his thumb to the bone on a shattered jar of screws. Suelo was fairly  certain that he could give himself sutures, but his sister-in-law insisted on taking  him to the emergency room. The doc cleaned the wound and stitched it up, and  sent Daniel on his way. The bill: a thousand bucks.  

Suelo was not willing to just ignore the charge—at the root of his forsaking  money is the desire to avoid debt. So he went back to the women’s shelter in  Moab where he volunteered, and asked if they would tally his hours, as if he  were an employee, and cut a check directly to the hospital. After he had worked  off about four hundred dollars of the bill, Suelo wrote to the hospital, asking if  they thought it was ethical to charge one thousand dollars for seven stitches. The  bills stopped coming."
