    I’ve done a really poor job of stitching myself up with bleach soaked fishing line.

    Couldn’t afford a doctor when I had a severe concussion.

    When I broke a toe I tapped the broken toe to the toe next to it and took the laces off of that shoe so my foot would fit.

    When I had swine flu and my fever was dangerously high I slept outside because it was 40F outside.

    Hell even when I was in the US Army I barely used the free healthcare. Both because of the anxiety of years of healthcare being unaffordable, and my leadership discouraging anyone to use it. You didn’t want to get labeled a “broke dick” as you would get treated like shit.
