When I was in college and on my own for the first time I tripped on the stairs and tore a ligament in my foot. I thought I’d broken something and the school called an ambulance. The ambulance drove me 1 mile to the hospital, where I was given an ice pack and crutches and then turned out with no way to get home (I had to hobble my way to a store to pull out cash to take a bus home).

This entire ordeal was $3000 after insurance. My mom then called me and bitched me out for not taking a taxi.
