When I was at Peabody College working on my Masters, a guy ran over my foot 
while he was turning into a gas station.  Didn't brake it and I didn't even 
accept his offer to get me to a doctor or hospital.  I felt silly for even 
letting it happen in the first place.  Later that afternoon, my 
Mother-In-Law took me to ER and my insurance company ended up paying for 
X-rays and examination.
