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.
