I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法庭）.
After the accident my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury I'd have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that they played for time and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship honour or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America we should see both its good and bad sides.
