Video After The Jump

We've all heard the saying "stupid is as stupid does." Well, one Michigan woman has given a great example of what that means.

41 year old Kathy Myers injured her right shoulder a month ago while playing with one of her dogs. Since then she's been in considerable pain, but because she is out of work and has no health insurance doctors wouldn't treat the injury.

That's when she came up with a plan to shoot herself in her already injured shoulder hoping she could get emergency treatment for both injuries.

The local hospital treated the gunshot wound, but not the previous injury leaving Myers in exactly the same situation she was in before shooting herself.

Except now the prosecutor's office is deciding whether Myers will face charges for firing a weapon within city limits.

Myers told WSB-TV she wouldn't be trying that stunt again.

"I have no suicide wish, right now I want to live."
