A woman in Michigan recently had this thought. Unfortunately she decided not take the advice of the article and shot herself instead.
According to www.care2.com, "Kathy Myers found out the hard way that the ER isn't the answer. Out of work, lacking insurance, and unable to get proper treatment for a painful shoulder injury incurred a month ago, the 41 year-old Michigan woman took drastic steps."
"She lay on her bed, put a pillow over her shoulder, and shot herself with a handgun. Not in a suicide attempt, but in an attempt escape the constant pain and get medical treatment. A month of pain without no end in sight will mess with your head."
