I recently broke my foot in a certain -ahem- altercation with the police.
I sat in jail for two days moanin, but with no medical attention, before I could get to a doctor. He verified that it was broken but I had waited too long to come in to even put a cast on (it was too swollen). I wore one of those boots for a couple weeks but got tired of it. I'm still limping.
I have no insurance so all I could do was pay for x-rays and go "yep, at least I wasn't pissing and moaning for nothing".
