What does this mean? Can this circumstance still fall undera requirement for hospitalization?

Question

I was reading the definiton of "great bodily injury" and i came up with this "The cases which we have upheld a finding of "great bodily injury" involved injuries serious enough to require hospitalization and/or serious rehabilative treatment." My question is, if a person DOES NOT have an emergency, and STILL goes to the hospital, does it still fall under "some serious enough to require hospitalization?" This is the injury. A red mark about 3 inches wide, caused by a heated tool. The mark was a little blistered, and a litte burnt skin. What do you guys think? By the way, the mark got healed fully a week later, with a small burn mark barely noticeable (even to the victim) Please help

Answer 1

That is not great bodily injury, but is this an insurance definition, work definition, military definition, or what?

Answer 2

all you needed to do was go to the doctor.

Going to the hospital is a waste of money and a waste of the ER rooms time.

I am guessing your insurance is not paying.  and they should not.
