Book of D: Graduate Counseling Evaluation & Freaking Car Wreck, part 2

Unfortunately, I was in a car wreck (in Midland) about an hour before I had my meeting with Dr. Anderson on campus (UTPB), but it did not detract from what I had to do for the eval. Disappointedly, upon calling 9-1-1, the dispatcher told me that Midland PD doesn't respond to minor vehicle accidents. In other words, MPD will only show up if a person has been seriously hurt (i.e., in need of an ambulance), killed, and/or if one of the vehicles is not drivable (i.e., a vehicle needs to be towed away). The driver of the other vehicle, let's just call him “Bobby” (B for bad driver), was at fault, but because MPD did not respond, I am uncertain if "Bobby" will ever receive a citation for his mistake. I was somewhat livid because “Bobby” was obviously not paying attention to the traffic signs and ran into my SUV (Chewy II). However, I was glad no one was seriously injured. “Bobby” kept apologizing for his mistake. I never apologized or recognized who was at fault. I kept things formal. I think my adrenaline was pumping too hard for me to notice any injuries to my body—and/or my amygdala was full-force in “fight or flight” mode, which helped me do what needed to be done at the scene of the accident and such. I did what MPD told me to do over the phone; e.g., exchanged pertinent, respective data with "Bobby" and shared the accident report number. "Bobby's" insurance and my insurance have been working diligently and have concluded that "Bobby" was at fault. I had an appointment with the nurse practitioner at my doctor’s office earlier today. She ordered x-rays, which I will have done as soon as I make sure “Bobby’s” insurance will cover it up front; I won't accept reimbursements. "Bobby" admitted his truck was in the left lane and my SUV was in the right lane, which I stated as well to my insurance. Our respective accounts place "Bobby" in the "left turn only" lane while I was in the "left turn OR go straight" lane. "Bobby" should have turned regardless of what I was doing. I had my left-turn signal to turn left, so when "Bobby" decided to ignore the street signs, he made the mistake of plowing into my vehicle.
