740 Euros to Remove a Tick in Holland

This was sent to me by a Dutch friend.

Ziekenhuis rekent 740 euro voor weghalen teek door Cees Jansen
Breda – Een simpele medische ingreep bij de spoedeisende hulp bezorgde een 34-jarige man in Breda een woedeaanval.

Translated this becomes.

Hospital charges 740 euro to take away a tick by Cees Jansen
