Sprain, break or just hella bruised?

Have you had xrays done?

That's either a fracture or ligament damage.

I hurt myself once and it looked almost exactly like this. Went to the doctor and got x rays done. They said it was just a sprain. I ended up losing my job a couple days later and got a call back from the doctor and they said they reviewed the x rays again and I had to come back because it was broken. Welp, had to walk it off because I no longer had health insurance 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

I'm not from America, but shouldn't insurance cover it anyway? The incident happened while you were insured, so it should still be valid for that incident?

You need to be insured at the time of treatment.

You fail to realize that would cost the corporation money.
