at some point, you may need an hospital and an ambulance.

You don’t understand actual honest to god hermits then.

My wisdom tooth is going to kill me because I’d rather die than have someone touch me. I’m not kidding.

slow painful death is bad, yes. but there is also fast painful death, such as appendicitis.

I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.

But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I'm not the best example

Yes, but even living across the street from a hospital doesn't guarantee you will have access to medical care. Plenty of people who live in the city can't afford an ambulance or hospital stay.
