And no, he didn’t need any stitches either.
This is Baer Hanusz-Rajkowski, from Bayonne, NJ.

NBC 4 New York reports that in August last year, he accidentally cut his finger with the claw-end of a hammer.
It wasn't a serious injury, but it wasn't healing, so he took it to the Bayonne Medical Center. They said he wouldn't need stitches, or an X-ray.

But it turned out to be a rather costly little visit.
The station reported: "Hanusz-Rajkowsk got hit with an $8,200 bill for the emergency room visit. On top of that, Bayonne Medical Center charged $180 for a tetanus shot, $242 for sterile supplies, and $8 for some antibacterial ointment in addition to hundreds of dollars for the services of the nurse practitioner."

The medical center blames Hanusz-Rajkowski's insurance company, United Healthcare, but the station claims it was told the company that owns the center "is pursuing a predatory business model that avoids cutting price deals with insurers," by United.
