A bizarre incident has been reported from a hospital in New York City, where a woman has reportedly been charged $40 extra in her medical bill for crying.

The anecdote, along with medical bill, has been shared on Twitter by Camille Johnson, a YouTuber from New York City. Camille, in a series of Tweets, explains how doctors charged her sister extra $40 for crying. “My little sister has been really struggling with a health condition lately and finally got to see a doctor. They charged her $40 for crying,” the post reads.

Camille exclaims her ailing sister was struggling to find proper care at hospital which made her jittery and frustrated. Rather than addressing her concern, hospital administration reportedly unleashed extra $40 on her, which was more than the amount she paid for medical tests.
