An uninsured woman’s plan to shoot herself in order to get medical treatment for another health problem backfired. Kathy Myers, who lives in Niles, Michigan, hurt her shoulder last month. The local hospital had refused her health care because her problems weren’t “life threatening or an imminent danger,” so she took it upon herself to inflict a wound that they had no choice but to treat. But because the gunshot wound wasn’t serious, Myers didn’t get the care she thought she would get for her shoulder. She could face criminal charges of firing a weapon within city limits.
