If someone is hurt or sick, what does the average person do? What are their options?

Photo of a clinic on the side of the road, this is a clean looking one.
A pharmacy in the background, this may be someones first stop when looking for help.

Twice now on our way home we have come upon what appears to be a car accident, people laid out on the side of the road, not moving. Not an ambulance in sight.  It is typical that the police respond first but that could take an hour or more.  I suspect that often people die from things that we would survive.  There are clinics and people will go there when they are really ill. For the most part people just tough it out.  People don’t have yearly check-ups or go to the doctor unless it is really serious. There are a few clinics that do surgeries. People do not go to the dentist regularly and you see NO one with braces.
