If you have 3 cracked ribs + a broken arm y have your buddy hit a ditch?

After just getting out of the hospital with these kinds of injuries, why would you have your buddy intentionally hit a drainage ditch at a high speed TWICE???

Sure, it makes the moron in the back of the truck fly into the air for a second, but it also causes a great deal of discomfort for your cracked and broken bones. And no, a couple vicodin/oxycontin from the hospital are not going to mask the pain of sensitive and damaged bones being jarred around violently when a vehicle hits an obstacle like that.

You do realize that is the lamest, easiest and more overused comment in the history of imdb?

He also managed to survive another crash, beat the hell out of Ethan, and until he got shot, didn't appear to be in any pain at all. The magic/invincibility of characters in comedies.

Yeah, he did manage to use that recently broken arm a lot as the movie went on. Good point. Also being shot with a rubber bullet and the seven stitches in his arm pit. But Peter is a tough architect.

Here is my question, would a hospital treat a man with absolutely no ID or proof of insurance? Don't say "
It's only a movie", because it takes me out of the moment . Granted, I didn't like the movie, but the writing gaps made it worse.

Wow, that's depressing if true. Here in the UK, NOBODY is refused emergency treatment at a hospital, with or without ID - even if they are an overseas national/resident not strictly entitled to free National Health Service treatment. God Bless America.
