I broke my toe this morning, possibly the most akward fracture imaginable. You cant do anything to help it, its hurts like crazy, but you cant mind over matter the pain because your toe will fall off. There's a lot of cool ways to break your toe, so naturally i fell 2.5 feet and somehow put all my weight on my middle one. The infirmary was really nice until the xrays. Up until the front of the line

NURSE "Alright, now do how you want to pay for this?"

ME "Oh, the other nurse said this was free"

NURSE "No sir, we dont do this for free"

ME "Ive been waiting in line for over an hour and the whole time ive been told xrays are free"

NURSE "Well, xrays are free, but for us to annalyze them its gonna cost $33"

ME "Awesome, let's fire it up"

NURSE "So how would you like to pay for this?"

ME "No, im just going to get the xrays done. I dont need the evaluation"

NURSE "What!? What would you possibly do with them?"

ME "Look at them myself. Ive seen fractures on an xray before, theyre not that hard to find"

NURSE "I highly doubt that someone untrained in the medical-"

ME "Ok, i get a family friend in the practice to look at them or whatever. Theres still a lot of viable options"

NURSE "No, you absolutly cannot"

I later learned she was a liar. Whatever. Apparantly unless my foots about to fall off, all they do is bandage it with gauze and say 'be careful' so whether or not i have xrays wont really change things. Quantum of solace is absolutly incredible.
