We had a similar problem at my alma mater, with students being afraid to seek medical attention for themselves or others in situations like this. For a while, it was the formal policy of the campus med center that if someone came in with, say, alcohol poisoning, they would involve the campus police, who would charge everyone in sight, especially if the individual were a minor. So people just wouldn't seek medical attention for themselves or their friends, even if they really needed it. It's not right or mature to put someone's life in danger because you're afraid of having to pay a fine, but it happens.
