No, you're just making some shit up, and acting incredulous at other things.
You are indeed trying to be an asshole.
I've turned down ambulance rides, got an uber instead, or fucking walked.
I've walked out of hospitals after ambulance rides, without giving them any id.
Back when Covid was going on, and I actually could have benefitted from having broken bones set... I just sat in a waiting toom for 10 hours.
Needed to eat something that day, got up left.
And yeah, I did set my own broken bone.
(I eventually managed to get my shit together enough to get a whole body's worth of xray's done - doc told i did a pretty good job of setting it
I've been homeless for years and know enough first aid, basic trauma response to keep myself and other people I ran into alive.
My 'excuse' for why I'm not currently doing anything is that I'm fucking crippled, can't afford the ongoing therapy, so I went to a few appointments, got them to print out the excercises, and just do it at home.
What's your excuse?
I don't have a car, and getting to the appointments is too painful, regresses my recovery, because no nearby medical center of any kind has a transit option, and the local charity that tries to is stretched rather thin.
You're acting like I'm an anti vax raw milk drinking measles party promoter.
You're exactly as arrogant as I figured you'd be, as, you know, a status quo apologist.
I hope what happened to me happens to you so you get a bit of reality check. No ids, no money no phone, 2 years. Good luck.
Oh I see. So YOUR life circumstances are relevant to what you choose to do and not do, and why you are in the situations you're in, but nobody else's could possibly be?
Not like other people have families to take care of.
You can pretend all you want that you're taking a stand, but you all but admitted that you were prepared to use the resources of the system in place, you just didn't like how it went when you tried. Or didn't have the means to get yourself there.
I'm sure everyone looks quite small from way up on that horse.
You are exactly the self-righteous, judgemental hypocrite I thought you were.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.
