An unemployed Michigan woman, desperate to get medical treatment for an old shoulder injury,
shoots herself in that shoulder.She was treated for the wound and released from the hospital a few hours later -- but without the earlier injury fixed. Myers said she wouldn't shoot herself again and has "no suicide wish." Life isn't great "right now, but I want to live," she said.
Now she's looking for a specialist who will accept a payment plan she can afford.
In the meantime, the Berrien County Prosecutor's Office will decide whether she'll face charges for firing a weapon within city limits.
Typical teabagger shit-for-brains in the comments who thinks she should sell her gun, her dog, and her cellphone, and maybe live off the Alpo in her cabinet, rather than anybody help her with her bills. (How the fuck is she supposed to find work without a phone? Oh, right, that ain't Billy-Bob there's problem.) He says, of course without citations, "FACTOID: Americans spend exponentially more on Alcohol and Tobacco than on their healthcare."
Another one says, "Good point...then you send the message to the sheep that..hey want 'free' healthcare shoot yourself in the shoulder..great idea." Yeah, dude, everyone who doesn't agree with you is "sheep[le]," even as you nod along like a fucking bobblehead to Faux Nooz and Lush Rimjob.
