I was arrested, cuffed, put in a cop car, and then matched through the main hall and waiting room of the hospital, forced to stand there in cuffs while everyone stared at me. Then I was locked in a glass room with a nurse staring at me from outside like I'm the devil himself. After 5 or so hours of waiting there eventually a doctor came in and talked to me and fortunately he believed me when I said it was all a misunderstanding and let me go. I had to wait another hour for the cop to release me. I wasn't even committed and it was fucking degrading. I refused to talk to my mother for a long time after that ( she was who made the call) and fell into the worst depression I've ever been in and didn't come out of it for years.
OH I FORGOT TO MENTION THE $1700 BILL I WAS SENT 6 MONTHS LATER!!!
...if your bill was only $1700 you got off easy; ours took years to pay off...
so did mine. it was devastating at the time because I didn't have a job and my other medical problems were causing me to miss classes so I ended up losing my scholarship
...yep, the whole experience just made things worse and then the medical bills were a nice f*ck-you to top it off...
Total injustice
