Hit by cars

Has anyone been hit by cars? How many? More than 5? ( Me - 4 on bike, 1 as pedestrian,1 my fault)
The 3 not my fault where people making left turns in front of me, failing to yield right of way.
Injuries:
1.) concussion
2.) 1 blood clot in leg that broke loose causing a pulmonary embolism I nearly died from (I had it for a week b4 I knew what was wrong)
3.) broken ribs, sprained neck- I later developed a collapsed lung (broken arterie on a rib bled bad) they pumped 5 liters of blood and fluid out of me. The car 'lost" though, I hit the car so hard that I sprung the frame and it had to be towed

The non injures were from the pedestrian hit ( crossing st @ corner) and the my fault car hit, ( late through light? - was 38 yrs ago)
