You're like me.
I rarely go to A&E unless something is hanging off by a thread or if the pain is excrutiating.

I'm like that
I didn't want to go when I cracked my head open but the teacher of the class I was in called an ambulance and made me go. When I got there the nurse I saw asked me why I'd called an ambulance if I could walk. Hmph.

My friend made me go to A&E when I ruined my ankle at a wedding
Drove her home, with it hurting whenever I changed gear, and then she made her mum drive me up to A&E. The nice doctor man proceeded to poke the big purple lump that shouldn't have been there, and ask if it was sore, then told me not to walk for a while. Now that's what I call helpful advice.

yeah they didn't really do anything for me either
My back was what hurt the most, but they were only really worried about the headwound because it was a headwound. In the end, once they'd washed all the blood out of my hair they told me the cut was less than a cm long and I would be fine. I felt bad for wasting their time, but my teacher is a nurse and she was worried I'd be paralysed or something so it was better safe than sorry I suppose.

Tis true
I think I may go to the walk in (hobble in) centre for a little help. Casualty takes forever.
