As the token 'poverty' stricken engineer, here, I've found that, in medical related things, almost never worry about a bit of discomfort. Required, here, to procure a 'trustworthy' driver ($80 US), or a friend or relative to transport home, and no taxicabs permitted!
When it's next month's food cash, that transport fee comes right out of several meals !
Not precisely complaining personally, as my housing providers place has high value and neighborhood quality (>> 1 million $).
Thanks for the factoid, jpanhalt.
