I have never had a serious injury requiring medical help (broken bones, concusssion, anything that should have you going to the ER, regardless of whether or not you actually did)
I had a slight fracture on my pinkie toe that probably would've healed on its own, does that count?
Weirdly same though I've been through stuff that definitely should have broken some bones
I end up going to the ER way more than I want to. It's really annoying; if you walk into an urgent care or a regular doctor's office (besides my regular care providers, they're used to me now) and say you think you have a kidney infection or other kidney problems and you just need antibiotics, they just go "NOPE" and yeet you out the door to go to the ER. So far, I have been successful in preventing them from calling an ambulance for me.
I just broke my first bone! The x-rays were exciting, and the tech emailed me the pictures!
Alternatively, I have had several injuries that should have gotten stitches, but have never been in the ER. Growing up poor in the US is a wild ride.
You jinxed it
