[I Drive Too Fast]

To save further freepers from jumping to conclusions, lets look at the facts from this misleading headline.

The 12 year old nearly drowned.
The 17 year old lifeguard jumped in and saved him.
The 17 year old lifeguard complained of a headache and ALSO went to the ER for treatment.

Voila, that is where he got a bill for nearly $2,600.

Disclaimer - I HAVE also misread or not read articles too. Hey, nobody's perfect ;-)

[Secret Agent Man]

Wouldn’t they bill his employer?!? He got the headache directly from saving a drowning kid while on duty. It’s a work-related medical issue.
