By the way, I saw the "you need to go to the ATM" scenario back in 2015 while getting day surgery. It involved a doctor from France who had caught his hand in a rusty anchor during a sailing vacation in BC. 

His physician wife was in a panic about payment, being from the USA originally. 

The attending physician told her to go the ATM by the Tim Horton's in the hospital and that whatever her daily cash withdrawal limit was would probably be more than enough to get her husband's wound cleaned and sewed up. 

I sang a few courses of Rame, rame, rame donc to let them know that there were bilignual ears within hearing range. Some francophones assume that anything they say in French is private when speaking in BC.
