Woman shot shoulder; doctors left sprain
NILES, Mich., (UPI) -- A Michigan woman who shot herself in a bid to obtain treatment for a shoulder sprain said doctors still did not treat that earlier injury.
Kathy Myers, 41, of Niles said she shot herself in the shoulder Thursday because she was unable to obtain treatment for a painful shoulder sprain without insurance, but doctors repairing the gunshot neglected to treat the sprain, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.
"I regret it because I accomplished nothing," Myers said.
Police said the Berrien County Prosecutor's Office is mulling whether to charge Myers with misdemeanor reckless discharge of a firearm, which carries a sentence of up to a year in jail
