I once was visiting Detroit and got very drunk My airbnb. wasn’t far from the bar and I was way too loaded for a taxi to take me back, and it was a nice night so I decided to walk back to the airbnb I made it about 200 steps and felt something Hit me in the head. Someone was grabbing at my pocket and I guess I successfully stopped them from stealth by my wallet since it’s all ripped.
Anyway my head is split open and there’s blood fucking everywhere. I tried dialing 911on my phone. Not sure if you’ve ever tried making a call on a bloood covered phone when you can’t see because you’re blind drunk and your vision is obscured by blood but it’s impossible. Anyway, a couple of people see me and get me an ambulance.
Now, I’m from Canada, and I THINK that I had international health insurance from work but I’m not sure. Anyway, they deal with the blood and tell me I’ll need stitches in the emergency room but I’m still loaded and the bleeding stopped so I ask if I can just leave and they’re like: no.
I call my buddy who shows up to take me back to the airbnb but I tell him: I’m not getting stuck with a fucking American hospital bill. Fuck this. Just walk out and I’ll meet you out front. I wait until the nurse is out of eye sight, crouch low and run past the admissions desk and out into the street, where my friend calls a very kind cab driver who sold us some decent cocaine.
I hope the rest of your night goes ok then. Let us know when you get the stitches.
This was like 6 years ago. Didn’t get any stitches. I thought I’d have a badass scar but it faded pretty quickly.
Fucking Americans lol
Hey, don't pin that one on us. Canucks are crazier than us about this shit
In general, you're allowed to refuse treatment. That's bodily autonomy in action.
They'll want you to sign a form saying you're leaving AMA (against medical advice), but other than that and arguing with the nurses and doctors about leaving vs staying for treatment, they really can't keep you.... Unless you're under arrest, which, it does not sound like you were.
In any case, it's your life and your body, you can choose to, or refuse to, do whatever you want with it, provided that you're not breaking any laws by doing so.
I mean I believe you but the nurse told me I wasn’t allowed to leave so.
It's not a prison.
That nurse is probably just bad at their job.
Bodily autonomy? In the US?
Friend, your body belongs to the state, which belongs to the corporations. That’s called freedom.
So glad I don't live there.
