Notes from Michigan: Insuranceless Woman Shoots Self to Get Medical Care.

Kathy Myers, a 41-year-old woman from the broke-ass wasteland known commonly as Michigan, recently shot herself in the shoulder hoping that emergency doctors would also have to fix a different shoulder injury while they were working on her. They didn't.

Myers hurt her shoulder while playing with her dogs in her yard (Extreme Frisbee? Advanced Go-Git-It?) and, as one of the 1.2 million folks in Michigan without health insurance, had to endure weeks of pain without treatment. Finally she decided to take matters drastically into her own hands.

They said it would have to be life-threatening or imminent danger for them to do anything, so I was making it be imminent danger that something had to be done.

In addition to not getting her shoulder fixed — they took care of the bullet wound but not the other injury — Myers might face criminal charges for discharging a firearm within the city limits of Niles, MI. But don't worry, she's not suicidal, she says.

I have no suicide wish. My life sucks right now but I want to live. I've got lots to live for and there's more good than bad in everything in my life, so that's not what it was about at all…I just want to take the pain away.

I heard this on the radio the other day.

They gave her some anti-inflamatories for the pain since it was a through and through.

What a dumb broad.

Used a .25 cal. pistol

BS, I live in Michigan, they cant refuse you health care even if they have to finance you. If you notice she claimed her shoulder "hurt" and they refused care. Granted, she may have been in pain but if the injury was so debilitating, just about every Hospital in the state has programs and Grants, even the State would pay for a surgery if it meant the person could then work under the Michigan Works! programs. Sounds to me more like she was wanting SSI for being a nutjob then anything.
