Ya, that seems cheap. But then, I would have wrapped it in paper towels and duct tape.
Hah, I've done that. Sliced my thumb open when I was pulling off plastic wrapping on a folding table, wrapping gave and slid my thum down the length of the rail that guides the legs. It was too late for me to go to my primary care clinic and I did not want the expense of the ER. So I wrapped it up in paper towels and tightly bound it with packaging tape. When I got to see the doc it was too late for stitches but the skin had closed up so it was ok. It wasn't as deep as the OP is talking though.
As for costs, I would say that it was reasonable, given the care you described.
