At what point would you throw the towel in and head to the hospital?

I just rub some dirt on it. 'Cause I'm a man.

If this is for you, I say never, just roll the dice.

If this is for someone else they probably ought to go.

But you don't need to, cause ya know, those other people are just weak punk ass motherfuckers.

If I can't breathe, my chest is feeling tight, or my vision is starting to fade I'd probably give it some time to work itself out.

If its a hangnail, bruise or sore throat I'd probably call 911.

Dude, do you not know what commercials this is from? Dirt isn't exactly what I would be rubbing on it, if you know what I mean. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. :D:D:D

The way I look at things, doctors are for pussies and hypochondriacs. A real man KNOWS everything is okay and goes from there.

When you can't sit on a bar stool... happened to me. Incredible stomach pain. Had tests run.. no longer a virgin (had a colonoscopy,) and was diagnosed with a very treatable condition. (Diet related)

You are better safe than sorry... I was tremendously relieved to find out that I did not have a real serious issue.

I broke my collar bone at 1030 pm, but didn't got to the hospital until noon the next day. I thought it was just dislocated. It ended up being broken in 3 places. (The ER Doctor said I have a high tolerance for pain).

I guess it depends on the situation on how long I'd wait to seek medical attention.
