I've told the story before, I think. I had a knee injury misdiagnosed by Army docs _"L knee sprain, R ankle sprain" 3 day dead man profile and crutches (funniest part "Which should I walk on, the bum knee or the ankle?" "Whichever hurts less.")Sent back, "severe sprain" 2 weeks no run/ruck/walk at own pace. After that, gently caress off. Back to running 2-5 miles a day. Did another tour a month later.

Actual diagnosis, from real doctors? Torn ACL, crushed cartilage, torn PCL. In the ankle- crushed cartilage and strained tendons that took over a year to heal right.


E-Bonus fun! My buddy's prelim TB test came back as possible exposure/infection. "Quarantined" in his barracks room.
Barracks had communal bathroom, and he still was required to go to the chow hall for food because his squad leader said, "I can't have Joe's bringing you back food. I don't want to risk exposing them".
