Distinctive thing I found in the US is that hospitals are always big and do everything under one roof. There are some smaller clinics run by chains in some states but they operate primarily only for insurance money and are not common. At the bottom of the chain, some doctors run their own operations from a strip mall like place but they again provide very minimal service.

Meanwhile, in developing countries, it's not that hard to find a decently qualified doctor running his own small clinic with couple of nurses in a busy street. And to the next level, there is always a small 20-bed hospital around with 3-4 doctors and a bunch of nurses. And options keeps increasing in size and cost from small to the big hospitals like you typically see in the US. Almost 95% of primary healthcare are met by these small-mid level operations and people go to the big hospitals only for complicated surgeries and intensive care.

In this example of just 6 stitches, it probably would have been administered by a nurse in a 20-bed hospital for fraction of the cost of a big hospital.
