Choose Your Pain

One of my Facebook friends was mugged. He got beat up pretty badly. Because he does not have any insurance he refused to go to the hospital. But he posted this questions on his Facebook wall this morning:

“What hurts worse? A broken rib, an abscessed tooth, or a concussion?”

What a horrible thing to have to choose which pain you can take care of know that you will have to just endure the others. My heart goes out to anyone who has to neglect their health and well being because they cannot get health insurance.
