Is there a "just doored" section because it just happened to me 10 minutes ago

I was just doored heading east on Diversey ave a couple blocks west of Racine ave by a hispanic man who didn't speak much english at all and drove off immediately after I tried "talking" to him about it. I didn't get a plate number because I was in a daze and I still am. I have road rash on my arms, but I seem to be ok... I think. I have weird head, shoulder and neck pain. Luckily I was wearing my helmet today because it cracked on the ground on impact. Otherwise there would probably be skull bits all over the pavement.

I didn't even know what happened, I just felt impact and my head smacked the ground. I'm ashamed that I don't have health insurance, but I just can't afford it.

Actually, that was Natasha Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave's daughter:

She could have been saved had she not declined help at first.

Seek a Doctor NOW Remember what happened to Vanessa Regrave?

She woke up dead from a head injury. Stroger is the place to go. Dizzy? Diall 911

I'm feeling a lot better now, but I still get mild headaches. My bike is in decent condition, the front wheel needed to be trued and I had that done at bikelane on Milwaukee ave.

Right now I might end up moving in with my parents in Los Angeles because I was laid off a few months ago and now I'm having difficulty finding any kind of work. I worked in the technical side of healthcare management and I have a lot of office experience, but the market seems to be saturated and I think having an asian name like mine is working against me when they see it on a resume because they probably think I'm an immigrant and won't fit into the culture of their workplace even though I was born in Chicago. Now I'm thinking the car culture will just run me over in a place like Los Angeles. Run-on sentence/drunk rant over.

Glad to hear you're doing ok. Your health is most important here. Secondly how is your bicycle running? I and I'm sure many others would be willing to help you fix it or replace it when and if you're up for riding in the future.
