Indeed, plenty of focus on this but very little on people forced into doing things like pulling out their own teeth... or stitching/gluing up deep cuts themselves and then ending up with sepsis... or removing their own frostbitten/gangrenous toes (I've actually seen a video of that particular joy!)

... all of this happening at increasing rates in the US.

Actually on the rise in the UK too but for a different reason. In the US it's prohibitive costs, in the UK it's simple lack of service availability (12 hour A&E waits etc.).
