    When I was a teenage job hopper, I worked day labor. One job was at a construction site doing the grunt work (translated: cleaning up the crap left on the job site). In one particularly dirty, dusty, scrap wood laden area, I mis-stepped. One assignment-ending incident: a dirty (but not rusty) nail, straight through my double-soled work boot and up in to the ball of my foot, held securely in place by the board it was originally nailed in to.

      Who paid for the medical costs?

        family medical insurance, if I recall correctly -- I was a teen, still at home w/ the parental units.
