They said X-Rays were unnecessary and released me, after the stitches, they said just spend a few days at home goofing off and not worrying about things. The only problem arising from this is that I now have to explain to my girlfriend, who's already having a shit week, that I've totaled my car and have a gash above my right eye... *sigh* I don't look forward to that call...

I don't want pics as proof, I just wanted to see what was left of the car.

Shit, sorry dude. Main thing is that you are still vertical, after all, its just a car.
Exactly. Everything else should only seem like a minor inconvenience, considering you walked away from it.
Right, right. I kept telling my mom over the phone, I can find a new car, but the great thing is that I walked out of it laughing and cutting up with the EMT's the whole time. Actually, think i may go lie down. Feeling kinda tired. I'll update tomorrow and let you all hear me ***** and moan until I take my 'scrips. Later, all. And thanks for all of your concerns. It means a lot.

Two things.
First off, you should have been given proper medical care. Especially since the accident could have left you with multiple trauma's.
Secondly, your girlfriend (please don't take offence) should be very understanding since you were in a life threatening situation and survived.

I agree with Scythe. I would seriously consider your health before taking pictures to appease people on the internet.

Ouch! Never had to be strapped down, before. I'm claustrophobic, so I'm sure I'd go completely batshit if they ever did...
I'm incredibly claustrophobic too, and I was stuck that way for a few hours while waiting to be x-rayed. It was a few days before I stopped shaking 😛
And why didn't they x-ray you at all? They really should have, even just in case. With something like that you could have easily hurt something in your neck or back that's not going to show up right away - the only reason I noticed something was wrong was that my arm went numb (I pinched a nerve in my back).

I wasn't x-rayed simply because after a tedious evaluation of where I was or was not feeling any pain, they were able to tell me that I was 99% unlikely to have injured anything moreso than my head. Thankfully, my head isn't too bad. I'm up and mobile today, feel like shit, but that's just soreness from the wreck itself. We've noticed today that my ribs are slightly bruised, but otherwise unharmed. They only hurt when I laugh really hard or something.
