A close friend fainted while in line at the grocery store. She landed on her jaw and broke it into five pieces. She spent a week in the hospital and was able to go home on Christmas Eve with her jaw wired shut and pins holding it together.
She was just standing there in line. No previous medical conditions.
Fortunately, she has medical insurance to pay the tens of thousands of dollars of hospital and plastic surgery bills. Unfortunately, she doesn't have dental, and she is eventually going to need bridge work to replace some of the teeth she lost.
Having no insurance is a gamble.
