LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas mother says she received a $3,000 bill after a doctor removed a plastic doll shoe that had gotten stuck in her 3-year-old daughter’s nose.
The mom, Katy Branson, says that her daughter, Lucy, stuck two pink Polly Pocket plastic doll shoes up her nose -- one in each nostril. Although the child's mother was able to remove one of the shoes, the second shoe required professional help. Physicians used a tweezer-like tool to successfully remove the shoe in seconds.
The Branson family says they initially received a bill for $3,000 but the charge was reduced to $1,700 because of a high deductible medical policy. What is the strangest thing you or your child ever had to have removed from a nose?
