Do you know that old saying, shooting yourself in the foot? Well I had a patient who did this both literally and figuratively.
So this poor fool is at "home" "cleaning his gun" and shoots himself in his foot. He comes to the ER with a friend, not calling 911 of course because he didn't want to have that whole uncomfortable conversation with police.
Now the injury wasn't too bad, it was a grazing, but being an inner city hospital we have armed police in our ER and at the front door.
After the patient is seen and treated, he is discharged home. Well almost home..
Apparently he had a warrant for unpaid parking tickets, and had just gotten out of jail, and was now going back to jail.
Moral of the story, pay your parking tickets folks before you shoot yourself in the foot.
